THE NORTH AMERICAN UNION...AN OPPORTUNITY IN DISGUISE?

By: CliffMickelson

Over the last several years I have exhaustively examined the issue of illegal and legal immigration ...I have done so from BOTH sides of the border. Conclusion? This issue is not self-sustaining nor is it independent. It does NOT stand alone. This issue is a subset and a modular component in a much larger cultural vortex that is currently opening up under the feet of all North Americans.

The expatriation of peoples is a descriptive modifier that precedes the greater long term integration that is in the process of redefining the nature of the North American Continent.
While I understand and sympathize with the angst that drives the common concerns on illegal immigration in both the United States and Canada, the subject in and of itself is a dead letter. the "immigration" barn door is being closed long after the horse has left.

Unbeknown to many residents of the US,(And Canada) this particular door is swinging both ways. AND...It contains elements that work to the advantage of all parties. The growing number of Canadians and Americans to be found living in Mexico number in the millions. The number of Canadians living in the United States has long been legion! The labor shortage in the western Canadian provinces has recently grown to such crisis proportions that the Government of Alberta is actively recruiting labor in Mexico!

Indeed, it is now safe to assume that there is no longer an effective door left on this continental barn for us to close.

The issue at hand is therefore no longer "immigration" but is instead "Continental cultural and economic integration"

We must keep in mind that the forces of nationalist patriotism do not define, nor will they ever more than fleetingly control, the issue of trans-border human migration, legal or otherwise. This is historical fact. It is a phenomena that holds particularly true for Empires of any stripe. Its dynamics often transcend such political definitions and are applicable, back through time, to all extended tribal groups as well as city or nation states.

We, in North America are, whether we like it or not, witnesses to the final stages of an emergent geographical and historical potentiality; one fueled by the most compelling and absolute of forces to ever drive the political destinies of nations;.... the implacable demands of historical and macro-global Economics.

Viewed from this perspective, (And barring the end of the world as we know it) ...the North American Union becomes a historical inevitability. In one form or another, dear readers....It WILL come to pass.

Canada, the United States, Quebec, and Mexico are irredeemably joined at the hip. We don't necessarily have to like it, but... The sooner we understand and accept that fact the sooner we can turn its looming fulfillment to our united advantage.

This type of "fusion" is not simply a regional phenomena. It is Global in application and in scope. The traditional nation-state is fated to become (some would argue..already is) a secondary player in an emerging world of ever larger supra-national political and economic power blocks.
So...What we should really be concerned about at this time is not a revanchist, irredentist and/or neo-nationalist Apartheid attempt to reverse the inexorable march of history and economics. Such an undertaking is already doomed to failure. And...Its failed effects will only serve to create unfortunate anomalies and perversions in the social fabric of what will someday be.

Instead we should be focused on whom shall CONTROL the direction of that which is to come....Will our collective destinies be controlled by positive populist forces favorable to, or negative plutocratic forces hostile to.... the interests of the united peoples of North America?

Like languages, only dying cultures remain static for long. There currently exists a window of opportunity within the restrictions of this newly determined historical potentiality. Herein the common people of all four merging nationalist cultures have the power to make or to abandon that most crucial of self determining decisions.

In all nascent historical potentialities there is both opportunity AND danger. "We The People" must avoid the futility and danger of chasing our own tails.

Because....

The tipping point in the integration of North America is long past. Instead we must hasten to seize the onrushing opportunity offered to us in any seeming trial of change or adversity. We must not shun or deny it.

It is imperative that we abandon the false security and siren-song of a self-inflicted jingoism in order that we may advantage historical opportunity fully. By doing so we will preclude the ample dangers implicit in avoiding the responsibility of directing our own future from within the parameters allowable to us by the same historical forces.

There are elitist and powerful groups at work across the planet who's sole concern is to keep the common people in a "reactive" mode while they lay the groundwork for the future slavery of all mankind. They would seize the moment if we do not.

This then is the issue we must urgently address. We must do so within the framework of the already-cast mold of the world that will be our collective tomorrow, not the world that was our collective yesterday.

KHALID SHEIKH MOHAMMED CONFESSES TO SINKING THE MAINE!
***

Greetings, (In) Credible Witnesses!

Good news! ... According to the latest mainstream press releases from the Stalinist Show Trials...er...uh...I mean "Freedom Isn't Free" trials at Guantanamo Bay,...It now appears that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the guy responsible for every terrorist act since the assassination of Julius Caesar, has finally confessed!

And here's the good part:

Excited military prosecutors are jubilant over the obvious success of their new interrogation technique which subjected the wayward Arab wonker to an endless loop of Brady Bunch re-runs.

Said one excited prosecutor: " It broke his will to resist almost at once!...At the end of the second showing, the suspect voluntarily agreed to ...tell all"!

Inside sources further report (off the record) that not only has Mohammad agreed to confess to his role in planning 9/ll and the Pentagon bombings but our American-educated criminal mastermind has also confessed to aggravated jay-walking and to a malicious conspiracy to talk in the Theater!

Allah be praised!....This guy is obviously incorrigible!

I say we should do a "Saddam" on the ungrateful reprobate and....Hang 'em REAL quick before he has time to change his mind and confess to perjury committed under duress due to cruel and unusual circumstances!

FRANK MILLER'S "300" RAMPS UP TO SLAY ONRUSHING ASIATIC HORDES!
by Cliff Mickelson

Greetings, Virtual Reality Fans!

Ever notice how thin the line between fact and fiction can be?

Ever consider how fiction is often nothing more than a preview to coming attractions?

Well, hold that thought for a minute as we consider the link pasted below taking us to the trailers for the new Frank Miller movie…“300”

“300” is a latter-day visit to the hallowed battlefield of Thermopolye. For those of us who were doodling cartoons during History class, Thermopolye is often ranked among one of the most important 20 battles in Western History.

I personally tend to place its importance a bit lower on the History meter…but the stand of King Leonidas and his Spartan Phalanxes at the narrow Thracian pass did manage to buy enough time for the beleaguered Greeks to assemble a fleet at Salamis a few weeks later and send the Persian king Xerxes packing with a thorough and sound drubbing.

Ah, yes..,I digress….

Mr. Miller’s extravaganza brings to the screen a stunning buffet of cinema-cartoon graphic fantasy served up on a steamy platter of questionable historical fact.

But what the heck, eh? Most Americans have no stomach for history any way.

Our modernist “dumbed-down generations haven’t got the slightest taste of a clue when it comes to arcane matters such as the roots of our cultural heritage. So… Historical accuracy to the side… “300” promises to be worthy of a trip to the theater just to savor the truly tasty Epicurean delights brought to us by Frank Miller’s artistic genius.

Now, let us return for a moment to discuss the thin line between fantasy and fiction and how fiction is often uncanny in its power to predict our onrushing future.

Does it strike anyone as curious that this movie, an epic review of the age-old conflicts raging since time immemorial between East and West, is coming to a theater near you as once again the beleaguered descendants of Greek cultural heritage ramp up to slay the onrushing Asiatic hordes?

Oh, that’s right. I almost forgot…It’s that History thing again…You see..”300” spares no pains to paint the Persians as larger than life boogie-men!

Does that sound familiar? No? Well consider this…

Is it a coincidence that the modern name for Persia is …Iran?

Synchronicity anyone? Don't count on it!

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY EXCESSIVECOMPUTER USE!

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE COMPUTER USE!

By: CliffMickelson

**
In yet another turn in the twisted tale of Global Warming, NASA scientists analyzing core samples of ancient glacial ice from Antarctica have uncovered incontrovertible evidence that global warming is caused by excessive computer use!

But...Not to worry!

Because..... A move is now underway in Congress to put an end to this pernicious planet-poisoning practice by mandating the insertion of greenhouse-gas emission detectors in (a place where the sun doesn't shine) of all users of any electronic device that is in anyway connected to the World Wide Web!

Proponents of the pending legislation hail it as a powerful new tool in the Federal Government's ongoing struggle to control the amount of time spent farting around on the Internet by potential terrorists.

Civil libertarians and other concerned critics are quick to note however that the current legislation exempts both branches of Congress. They claim that such an exemption defeats the true intent of the bill since Congress itself is far and away the nation's largest producer of gaseous emissions!

COINTELL SABOTAGE..."MOLES" AND OTHER TYPES OF INSERT "ASSETS"

2006-12-12T14:44:00.000-08:00

COINTELL SABOTAGE...MOLES AND OTHER INSERT "ASSETS"

(Note) This is an excerpt from an extended essay I am writing on the in's and out's of COINTELL Assets, The Delphi Technique and related issues as they pertain to modern grass roots and populist movements in North America.

-Cliff Mickelson

***
Of all the different classes of Cointell stealth "assets"..."moles" are probably one of the most difficult to "out." They are second perhaps only to a "sleeper." Both can be very effective assets as they can be successfully integrated to an acquired target organization both vertically as well as horizontally. (Although their practical applications differ substantially once they are inserted)
There exists a wide range of sophisticated methods for ferreting out moles. These "outing" techniques are "application specific," which is bureaucratic lingo for "If the shoe fits, better start tagging the foot that is wearing it."

One of the more obvious and esoteric ways to "out" a mole is through the use of information feeds. A host of static and specific parameters also can be applied to reduce the odds of moles slipping through the security net in the first place.

I am often asked to comment on the infiltration issue as it relates to the American Lyme disease community and the Morgellons disease community. To these communities the issue of "moles" is really not one of pressing concern.

Of greater concern is leadership "insertion"

Leadership "Insertion" assets are the tool of choice when dealing with issues whose successful resolution requires the cooperation of a skilled guild such as the medical profession.
This is a common tool of not only governments but also of industries and corporations who have something serious to hide.

The object of this type of asset is to arrive on the scene when the movement is still in its formative or even in an embryonic stages. The asset will have the professional qualifications needed to enable the movement to gain access or credibility in the field of its concern. (i.e., medicine)

The insertion asset will almost never be an active victim themselves but will express interest in wanting to further the cause of the community that has been targeted and, having been inserted at an early point, will soon become the primary focal point for said community.

Upon occasion, several such assets will be inserted into the target community at different times, early on. Neither asset will be aware of the role of the other. It will be the job of these assets to lead the target community around in circles for as long as possible and to block all true progress while projecting the appearance of being in the forefront of research and of the struggle for legitimacy...How to tell the difference between a legitimate "volunteer and an inserted "asset"? Not easy!....but a close scrutiny of these people will reveal that overall they are actually producing nothing!

This can only mean one of two things. They are an inserted "asset" or they are innocent of being an insert, but they are incompetent.

A telling hallmark of an "insertion" is that they almost always avoid answering direct questions of substance concerning the issues at stake. Instead.... They will often take a keen interest in the lives and personal interests of their immediate constituency. They will generally be very affable and friendly. They will seek to become "friends" with all those who matter around them in the organization. This is a clever, (and very effective) ploy as it tends to deflect criticism from within and also enables the hoodwinked associates of the asset to engage in denial.

Another common warning sign of an "asset" is the "volunteer" professional who suddenly shows up wanting to "help" and will usually initially contact one or two high profile member of the target community. They will then use that contact to springboard into the center of the existing organization. Keep in mind this is not always the case, but nonetheless...this "phenomena" is always something to watch for.

The bottom line for ferreting out such an asset is an ongoing and critical review of the results being produced by those claiming leadership roles. This is particularly true in the area of "research" since it is a rarefied and highly credential specific area.

If too much time goes by with no progress then serious questions need to be asked.
Even if such a person is not an "asset" the retention of an amateur or incompetent person in the center of an organization will produce the same effect as a professional asset. Either way, the organization is better off without them.

All leadership needs to be subjected to periodic "reviews" of the results they are producing in order to ascertain their true value to the organization. If they are not producing then they are no different from any other failed CEO. They need to go. And...The sooner the better.

.....Click here: Top News- New Evidence of Water Found on Mars - AOL News
Greetings, ...All You True believers... and Other Long Suffering Fellow "Mojados":
]
As you may or may not know, Astronomy is one of my favorite alternative pursuits!
Now, I don't know if any of you are interested in astronomy enough to follow off-planet events or not, but every once in a while something so bemusing comes along from the fine folks at publically supported NASA that it bears a taxing editorial comment.
This is one of them!....And, so...what is....(in case you are afraid to ask)...the comment?
There is Water on Mars!.. uh..."THIS IS NEWS?.....
Yup!.... Gotta love the way the mainstream controllers handle the sheeple when it comes to declassifying top secret truths that are widely held as common knowledge!
It's as if the lemmings were going to stampede or something? As if the walls of the Vatican were going to come tumbling down? As if the fundamentalists would suffer an instant ...myocardial infarction?
It's as if Homer Simpson would quit drinking beer?
OK, OK...Let's give credit where credit is due...I suppose that we should find it refreshing that they are finally putting out a "floater" with a whiff of the truth to it, right? (This is scary, in and of itself!)
So...Here goes......(Deep breath) .....Thank you NASA!.....I am truly grateful for being thrown a 100 year old tidbit from Percival Lowell's table! and...It's about bloody time! (He muttered, ungratefully)
However, I feel obliged to qualify my gratefuly undying gratitude with a slightly ungrateful caveat.....in view of past NASA performances, (Certain classes of "truths" as a last resort only) it's a safe bet that something big may be up with the space agency you love to hate!
In my grateful opinion...Here's the REAL news contained in this Mars press release......
Time to read between the lines my friends! NASA has finally found themselves caught between some kind of a floating space rock and a stationary hard spot. (Thank you European Space Program!)
So..... Stay tuned for further incoming sideways "floaters" from the verity-volks at NASA.
Meanwhile... Those of us in the amateur astronomy community can only shake our heads in amazement. What a crazy and fraying intellectual certitude we all currently live in, eh?
Is it too late to NOT take a look, Galileo? After 500 years of peering myopically through your metal and glass tube must we finally recant and acknowledge the looming reality of a brave new world?...One where humans co-inhabit a completely new and revolutionary mental universe?
Shucks.....Just when we thought for sure that the orange-filtered artificial skies of Mars were going to go on forever! LOL!

FOUNDER OF MORGELLONS RESEARCH FOUNDATION UNDER IRS SCRUTINY?

MORGELLONS FOUNDATION UNDER IRS SCRUTINY?
By: CliffMickelsonDate: Thursday, 3 August 2006,
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New and alarming reports have recently begun to circulate concerning financial irregularities and mismanagement of funds at the Morgellons Research Foundation.
The emerging potential scandal and its attendant controversy is currently focused on alleged malfeasance of office and misappropriation of donated funds by MRF founder and Executive Director, Mary Lieto.
According to sources close to Board Chairman Charles Holman, Ms. Leito has consistently refused to produce financial records or to account for a large number of donations bequeathed to the foundation by donors.
This, despite repeated requests by Board members.
The missing financial records being sought cover a span of several years.
"We are doing all that we can to account for the donations made to this organization" Says Holman.
"Unfortunately, Ms. Leito is not cooperating in this effort to provide accountability to the public who's trust she was charged with."
Mr. Holman's office reports that they are extremely concerned that they have been unable to recover any record of donations personally received by Ms. Lieto for the year of 2004.
Board members are also seeking access to financial records for subsequent years including, and up to, year 2006.
According to MRF Board members who have been contacted concerning this issue, no records whatsoever have been released for public examination by Ms. Lieto.
"She has consistently refused to return phone calls made to her by Board officers," reports Dr. Greg Smith, another member of the MRF Board of Directors.
"She also has refused all pertinent information requested by the Foundation's Treasurer" He added.
A spokesman for several of the officers of the Board of the Morgellons Foundation relates that an official IRS investigation of potential civil and criminal activities on the part of the executive Director and Founder Mary Leito and several others, may soon be under way.

MORGELLONS WATCH .. THE CRIME?
A TREASON AGAINST THE SPECIES!
By: CliffMickelson .

Greetings:

We all knew it would come.... It was only a matter of time.
It took root among us many long decades ago. It feigned to grow slowly. At first it only whispered: "FEED ME", in a low-key and righteous manner. "FEED ME."

Just a few prisoners here, a few black men there, just an unsuspecting young soldier or two.

They were victims, never missed.

So...

"FEED ME" It said, but now it no longer was whispering...

Still, no one really noticed.

Oh, sure, there were a few malcontents and crackpots who sat up and listened.

"Say, Did you hear that"? They asked America.

No one replied, and so, those who listened... were easily marginalized and quickly silenced.

Now, the criminals grew bolder.

"FEED ME" was soon audible throughout the land.
During the decades of the last half of the twentieth century, what was once criminal caution turned increasingly into criminal arrogance.

FEED ME, FEED ME!.....More and more an endemic and chronic Government secrecy paved the road to the overthrow of the Republic.

Like an acid it disolved the bonds of human dignity and facilitated the repudiation of the value of the individual as a vital integer of a free nation.

And... through it all, in the background, the roar grew stronger....

FEED ME, FEED ME, FEED ME!

Yet still America slept.

Now, the criminals no longer needed to fear. Criminal arrogance was soon replaced with criminal contempt!

Contempt for you. Contempt for me. Contempt!

Criminal contempt.

FEED ME, FEED ME, FEED ME!

So, at long last, here we are. Our journey nears its end...We are all infected. You may not realize your disease yet.
But you are infected. I am infected.

There may only be one sad small difference between you and I.... I know my disease.... I realize I am infected.

My control over my own fate, My sacred right to exercise my ability to affect my own destiny; those things the criminals stole first.

Now, with each new day, I look anew upon the mark of this bondage to which the contempt of criminals has delivered me.

And you? You who have yet to see?

You too, have been sold.

Now the sound of the jackal is heard everywhere in the land.

FEED ME, FEED ME, FEED ME!

I do not pretend to know what fate my new master holds in store for me. Of course it is easy to imagine death in all its most painful and terrible forms. Yet, why is it so difficult to only believe that this is a benign infection? Perhaps a mistake? Tomorrow I will wake and shake off this nightmare?
I find myself grasping at hope with a ferocity that equals that which now grips me, as it also grips you.

Criminals have stolen among us like assassins at the stroke of midnight. It is a cold, merciless hand that touches every one. The sound of it befouls every thing.

FEED ME!

Alas, my friends, you do not yet even realize that the criminal hand flies each day above all you have ever loved.

Even now, it grips your children as they play in the school yard. It throttles your retired parents as they unsuspectingly set out to see an America that is no more.

It comes for you because it must.

It has an insatiable need:

FEED ME, FEED ME, FEED ME!

And so it is that an unnatural appetite devours an America where once, some decades ago, just a few official criminals were allowed to become criminally arrogant, testing their poisons on just a few other lesser criminals.

Until at long last, like thieves in the night, they finally came for us all.

Such treason! Our own flesh and blood!

Our own fellow citizens! And now our own kith and kin rob us of that which is the most precious of God's gifts:

Our future.

And the cock crowed thrice!

FEED ME, FEED ME, FEED ME!

In closing, dear reader, If there is indeed a hell, then in the darkest corner of fiery torment, may those who have brought this fabric of darkness forth upon our world, receive their just wages.

We must continue to believe that someday there will come a champion.

That we will someday behold our own Pale Rider.

That there will rise up an avenging wraith armed with a sword of justice and it will be wielded against the criminal wrongs done to unsuspecting men and women.

Our faith must give life to that yet unknown avenger for the loss of our innocent little children. Those babes, who even now, are fain to taste the sorrowful sweet joy of life.

For this, we will find the strength to persevere. We will find the will to live.

...And even if it is only for the venal satisfaction of being there on the day when this horrid spawn, this creation of evil...has been rooted out and damned to the blackest of eternity's fires.
And...Even if only it is to hear the words:

WE INDICT THEE, WE INDICT THEE, and....
WE CONDEMN THEE.

BUT FEED THEE, ...WE WILL NOT!

For on that day, and only then, will we, as a species...

Rest In Peace.

I - PATHOGENIC MYCOPLASMA
A Common Disease Agent Weaponised There are 200 species of Mycoplasma. Most are innocuous and do no harm; only four or five are pathogenic. Mycoplasma fermentans (incognitus strain) probably comes from the nucleus of the Brucella bacterium. This disease agent is not a bacterium and not a virus; it is a mutated form of the Brucella bacterium, combined with a visna virus, from which the mycoplasma is extracted.
The pathogenic Mycoplasma used to be very innocuous, but biological warfare research conducted between 1942 and the present time has resulted in the creation of more deadly and infectious forms of Mycoplasma. Researchers extracted this mycoplasma from the Brucella bacterium and actually reduced the disease to a crystalline form. They "weaponised" it and tested it on an unsuspecting public in North America. Dr Maurice Hilleman, chief virologist for the pharmaceutical company Merck Sharp & Dohme, stated that this disease agent is now carried by everybody in North America and possibly most people throughout the world.

THE LANGUAGE OF MORGELLONS...THINK BEYOND THE BOX!

2006-06-27T01:25:00.000-07:00

The Language Of Morgellons - Think Beyond The Box

By Cliff Mickelsoncmicke1065@aol.com 6-28-6

"All things, once conceived within the womb of the mind of man, are in effect, fertilized potentialities. They exist from that moment on as a gestating reality." - CM

***

It is important for all those now entering the debate concerning "Morgellons, AKA the Fiber Disease" to understand that one of the more considerable inconveniences that we, as a group, find ourselves up against in the struggle to quantify this affliction is a paucity of appropriately descriptive and accurate linguistics with which to organize, compartmentalize and index it with.
Not unlike the phenomena that occurs when a primitive tribal society confronts and attempts to quantify its sudden and unanticipated encounter with a technologically advanced mechanized society, we now find ourselves cast head first into a foreign dimension where dwells the dragon of descriptive verbal quandary.

Here we cross over the frontier into a twilight world of future-shock. This is a realm where thousands of years of painstakingly assembled linguistic tools are beggared. In the collective Passover into this world of language "antimatter," ... more becomes less ... and antimony reigns supreme.

This is also a land where even the richest of human tongues suffer a collective interface "bankruptcy" and are effectively precluded from their basic reason d' etre. We find our most powerful social tool unable to coherently and effectively communicate the nature of that which our senses perceive.

Such is the magnitude of the failure of language in this instance.

We discover, as a result, that we are disagreeably placed at a descriptive loss to correctly conceptualize what it is that we find before us since we have no completely accurate past definitions or terms to draw upon.
This dictum holds true for much of what is now presented before us in the guise of Morgellons.

And....

As a consequence of this unpleasant situation, (In much the same way as any technologically challenged culture would have to do) we find that we are forced to beg, borrow or steal inadequate terminology and modify it as best we can with conditional modifiers, unsatisfactory adjectives and bandage adverbs.

Hence, it is common to find the frequent use among researchers of the hyphenated word...'-form' When discussing or attempting to communicate, define, or quantify information concerning this affliction.

Any such hyphenated tendencies are immediate and conclusive testimony to linguistic inadequacy. They come to us complete with all attendant nuances and escape clauses.
Yet even these semantic exigencies of last resort are creative desperations that tend to fall short more often than not. At best, they lend themselves, (unfortunately) to monumental confusion.

It is time to invent a lexicon made of the same fabric as this condition.

That may mean that it is also time to seriously stretch the rubber band of accepted convention and to begin to think outside the box.

Therefore, lexical poverty's are the best that we will be able to marshal until a better understanding of the exact nature of what we are dealing with is obtained and appropriate terminology is then either coined or adapted to fit.

So....

As the reader may likely surmise at this point ... This Morgellons "organism" exhibits proclivities and behaviors that are...from beyond the pale and certainly outside the medical box.
Several telling and pertinent examples of the current descriptive insolvency we find ourselves afflicted with in relation to this disease can be found in none other than the very name we have assigned to it. Morgellons, AKA: the Fiber Disease.

In fact, this disease is so alien to the modern tongue and so adumbrates the modern vocabulary that the closest possible moniker that could be found to tag it with was a 300 year old plague of questionable origin that no one now living had ever heard of before.

And...

Even that act of linguistic desperation falls short as no one really knows for sure exactly what it was that was described 300 years ago, nor do we know if it is, in fact, this disease that confronts us now.

We only know that it 'sounds' similar. Hence we are forced to commit a questionable and inadequate linguistic theft in order to communicate the fact that the 'gods must be crazy.'
Let's take a moment and quickly examine just one of those hijacked descriptive phrase: .... 'fibers"

Again, our language is beggared for true accuracy by the oddity of this disease as accumulating research is indicating more and more that the objects we term "fibers" bear no actual physical similarity whatsoever to the classic definition of "fibers" The aforementioned objects only 'look' like fibers, but they are NOT fibers.

Keep in mind that English is one of, if not THE richest descriptive languages on Earth.

Our native tongue has over a quarter million accepted words in its inventory. Yet, this most prolific of communicative art forms is struck down dumb and linguistically bankrupted by the misnomer of...."The Fiber disease that we call Morgellons," ... An anomaly which, due to the nature of this most uncertain of afflictions, is actually, in effect, neither.

SILVER THREAD AMONG THE GOLD...THE RUSH TO SILVER!

SILVER THREAD AMONG THE GOLD -THE RUSH TO SILVER!

By: CliffMickelson
Date: Thursday, 1 June 2006, 3:49 p.m.

Greetings, Buffy, Vlad, and Others With a Stake in Silver:
Sewn in among the recent,(and, in my opinion, overdue) threads that weave themselves through the fabric of the current pull back in silver prices, there looms an excellent buying opportunity in the offing.
If the market trend now extant is allowed to run its course without any external political or Earth events creating unanticipated input, I recommend waiting a few more days to reenter the fray as it may be that prices will continue to level or further retreat until they hit support at about the $10.90 range.
Currently at $12.01, silver is still a good long term buy.
However, for those with a bit more risk-taking elan in their blood, I say that it may be worth holding aloof for those few days more, and then buying as much hard stock as you are comfortable with in the $10.90 to $11.50 range.
It remains highly likely that, having caught its breath, silver will begin its accent once again within the next ten days.
Keep in mind that silver often maintains a 'knee-jerk' relationship to activity in the gold market and that currently gold is being savaged by some very high powered players with an excess of paper to throw at it and a dearth of morality to guide their aim.
Nonetheless....
Barring the discovery of a new Comstock lode in Outer Slobovia, the days of 'Under $10 silver' are gone for the near and foreseeable future.
Expect to see an ounce at $20 by year's end and possibly even by the end of summer.
The future of the Gold issue is another story. It is one that is coterminous with silver but is also a bit more complex. I will delve into at another time.

THE BORDER CRISIS.. FALSE FLAG AND DONE DEAL!
Posted By: CliffMickelson <Send E-Mail>Date: Friday, 19 May 2006, 3:44 p.m.
Greetings, Moe, Larry, and the American Public!
The recently staged sound and fury over the Mexican immigration issue is truly insanity's finest hour.
It begs the question: Why shoot ourselves in the foot, when the head is so much closer?
Or, to put it another way, "Go pick your own damn strawberries."
And, by the way, come winter, stay the hell off our three thousand miles of empty, sun-drenched beaches."
OH, yes, Almost forgot...About that condo that your folks just bought and paid for (with their life savings) in Puerta Vallarta? LOL! FORGET IT!"
As for the pathetic, born again, political grandstanding from Washington City, THAT can be dismissed out of hand, as the ludicrous theater that it is.
I doubt if anyone in Washington City could even find Yuma Arizona on a map until last week.
Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, my friends, and we will all end up blind and toothless!
Like it or not, Mexico, Canada, and the United States are ALREADY joined at the hip. Best be getting used to that fact.
Not only that, but the historical dynamics at work will only continue to integrate them further.
There are forces involved in this equation that are much bigger than the small minds currently attempting to negatively exploit the issue for political ends.
Time for the Nortenos to face facts. The North American Union is a DONE deal. The reason most folks dont quite see the forest yet is that there are too many trees in the way.
Many of us fail to realize that on a proportional ratio, there are already nearly as many Americans and Canadians living south of the Border as there are Mexicans living north of the border.
Further, our Anglo Culture has had every bit, if not more impact south of the border than Latin culture has had north of the border.
North American trade, peoples, and cultures have always been first cousins, born out of the same cultural mother and fathered by geography. Now they have become simbiotes, thoroughly and irrevocably joined at the hip.
Sever these triplets and loose them all.
This issue can be led by the nose, around and around the domestic stage, until it falls down dead. Such a parade will not change the greater historical dynamics that are moving all north Americans inexorably forward toward greater integration and eventual union.
The question is not will we be able to stop it, but will we be able to rise to the opportunity offered by the historical occasion?
And
Will we embrace the enduring cultural wisdom of Republican Rome or the transitory military blindness of Ottoman Constantinople?
One road leads to legacy and the other to ruin.
Barring an asteroid in the gulf of Mexico, You can take THAT inevitability to the bank.

WHY NORTH AMERICAN BORDERS ARE A MOOT POINT!

In Response To: JUST A WORD FROM A CHICANO (woody)
Greetings Woody:
There is nothing wrong with legal immigration. There is PLENTY wrong with illegal immigration.
It's a bit late for closing the barn door at this point. We have allowed the horse to run..and, it eventually would have been futile to try and corral him anyway.
The point being that the border is already an economic, political, and geographic historical anachronism.
The question should be: Will we recognize and sieze the moment of opportunity, or will the NWO sieze them for us?
Nations, just like individuals, who fail to seize control of creating their own destiny within the historical flow upon which all humanity sails, soon find that others are quite happy to seize and create it for them.
Just as inexorable economic and political events transformed the border between Rome and Vei, or Rome and Samnium, so too now, is it transforming North America.
The last chance to we had, on this continent, to reverse such a historical social dynamic was immediately prior to and during the early years of the War between the States.
That opportunity was stillborn and doomed by the nature of its own composition. We now face massive centralizing forces driven by the economics engines of history and as such, they have held sway in western Civilization since the Reformation.
We don't need to like the fact, and I personally don't like it at all. But that doesn't change a thing.
Further, although fluent in Spanish, I am no friend of multiculturalism. However, I am well aquatinted with the nature of historical determinism.
One may choose to stand in the way of onrushing historical eventualities and be steam rolled or one may choose to turn them to ones collective advantage, or...one may simply be passive and allow such forces to be co-opted by those who intend to enslave us via the inertia and power that such energies possess.
Human choice is limited when confronted by the flow of this kind of power ... but there IS choice. It is contained within the parameters of the dominant historical potentiality and we must work within it for there is no way to internally escape it.
It can only be derailed by massive external and violent force.
Therefore, we must decide if we shall rise to the occasion and claim it as our own, thereby bequeathing a cultural heritage similar to the semi-imortal heritage of Rome, or we must decide that we do not measure up to the challenge that is presented and therefore acquiesce to consignment upon the garbage heap of history as per Carthage, Ottoman Rum, and a host of other failed societies who became static and could no longer evolve to coexist with the immutuable, unsentimental, and implacable forces that drive human history. --CliffMickelson

WHAT WE DO AND DON'T KNOW
ABOUT THE FIBER DISEASE!

"Not Much"

MORGELLONS...WHAT WE DO AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIBER DISEASE!
-By CliffMickelson

Excerpt from section V...The Callus:

***

It should be clearly stated that among the few certainties extant about Morgellons that are absolutely provable is that there exists a nematode-like life form who's role is central to the affliction.
This fact can be irrefutably summoned into any court of evidence. The worm is a changeling. It is but one of several incarnations documented as complicit actors in a tragi-drama intent on opening to ever-wider numbers of audiences around the world.
As each successful actor has his own unique foil, so too does this peculiar creature have a proprietary shield.
This shield is what we know as the "callus."
Masked behind the security of an artificially manufactured "callus" the Morgellon's nematomorphic worm is master of the host's corporal stage. Hence it remains free to summon forth all the allied sounds of its diseased fury. And ... at curtain fall, it will leave in its wake only the grist of ruined lives and shattered dreams as evidentiary grounds for judgment by its unhappy audience of unwilling reviewers.
It is the organism's creation and composition of the callus and the nematomorph method of utilizing and dermo-forming the callus that begs understanding. To do so is to take the first step on the path that hold a promise of gaining the offensive and of an eventual cure.
My recent research indicates that the callus is more a product of the creature than a reaction of the host. This is more important of a distinction that it may at first appear. The callus, although it mimics skin to a phenomenal degree is, (IMO) NOT skin, or is at best a mixture of plasma and other body fluids chemically transformed by a specialized secretion of the nematomorph.
We know that the finished product is anchored with a tenacity that defies normal convention.
The callus usually makes its debut as a thick clear semi-sticky fluid extruded directly from the endodermis regions. Its consistency is comparable to a clear corn syrup. It has a drying time measured in minutes and at times in seconds. As a result, it is not uncommon for it to escape initial notice.
(This liquid also has other proto-funtions more apropos to other chapters)
The above described secretion is the cement from which the organism builds its callused fortress. It serves the creature well in both a defensive and offensive capacity. As the callus forms and hardens the adult nematomorph often integrates itself into it.
The secretion is also utilized to wash away the caustic effect of chemical attack and to reestablish its dominion within a perimeter where it may have suffered reverses due to enzyme attack or even cases of zealous tweezer tenacity.
More significantly, upwellings of this liquid are also found in previously uninfected areas of the host's body immediately prior to new or expanding colonization.
When left to pursue its natural course, the callus often exhibits a number of "flaps" or skinlike flakes extruding from its edge. When this leading or extruding flap is successfully grasped by tweezers and removed without the aid of being softened by enzyme action or 91% alcohol saturation, It tends to take its leave from the host body in the form of strips that are skin-like in appearance and are generally longer than they are wide.
As the strip is removed it will often appear to rip through the adjoining and/or connected callused areas much like a string through a bag of dog food.
Pain however, is usually minimal along the horizontal length being removed. It is only sharp at the point where the far end section of the nematomorph may be accessing the blood of the host.
The removed section of callus exhibits one interesting characteristic well worth noting. It, as well as any other removable sections in the immediate vicinity, will always only be completely removable in the same direction!
Once that direction is determined, the targeted strips of callus must always be peeled backwards against themselves. They cannot be entirely removed in any other manner or direction and will only break off if contrary removal is attempted.
As stated previously, this may be due to the fact that at there are nematomorphic forms that have physically embedded themselves within the matrix of the callus liquid prior to complete hardening. This tends to form lines of fracture that appear as strips whose borders are defined by a mutual point where other embedded objects are encountered or meshed with.
One additional result of this embedding is that each "strip" of callus has great tensile strength in a horizontal or linear direction. The strength is directly proportional to its length. It is more evident for older and longer embedded creatures and less for younger and therefore shorter ones.
The entire callus is further secured on the underside, (or skin side) not only by the super glue effect of the secretions of the creature, but also by dozens of protuberances that are somehow created as the callus forms and that appear to serve in the capacity of anchors. These "podia"give the undercarriage of the callus an appearance similar to that of the exoskeleton of a millipede or similar creature
(Note)
It is the "peeled back against itself" motion of callus removal that best enables the curved scimitar shaped podia to release their formidable hold on the flesh of the host.
Discerning observers will also note that there are often numbers of small nematomorph forms to be found among these podia.
To sum up: It is my contention to date that the callus is composed not only of the extruded secretion alone, but also that the adult worm is fond of encasing itself in this matrix.
Once embedded, it will remain fixed along its entire length with only a small flap of material protruding from just under the top leading edge of the callus. From these many points along the perimeter, the callus will often grow. These are the allegorical gates of the city. It is from here that one of the methods of creeping expansion are accomplished by the aid of further secretion by the creature as it grows and moves outwards in a horizontal and semicircular manner.
SECTION 5 ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CALLUS
New or juvenile forms found entering the above described callus life stage can be removed embedded in commensurately tiny strips of callus. Interestingly, and to the best of my knowledge, there appears to be no predetermined limit to the length that they may eventually attain.
I have removed such strips that have exceeded an inch or more and many new or small ones of less than a 1/32 of an inch. These strips tend to be very flat and almost "dry" at the leading edge, but much more moist at the end farthest from the leading edge of the callus.
A great majority of these objects that are not completely integrated together in a common secretion with others of their kind will exhibit two horn-like projections on the outer or forward leading edge. These "horns" give the removed object a look resembling a flatworm or fluke with the antennae of a slug or snail. (hence the original designation of "fluke form)
It is these extrusions or prior mentioned flaps that can be grasped by tweezers if one is quick enough. They will often slightly extend beyond the edge of the advancing, (growing) callus or lesion and will noticeably extend themselves even further when stimulated by outside pressure slightly behind their location.
The pressure required to achieve this end is that which occurs when the callus is repeatedly and lightly stroked or rubbed with any foreign object.
Should one attempt to seize this flap but then miss in the attempt, the extrusion will likely retract or curl back under the callus with impressive speed.
The far end of this form, when successfully removed, is anchored in the flesh of the host. It is at this point that the creature is accessing the blood stream. Following successful removal, it is at this point that the host will often bleed profusely. However, such a flow often suddenly stops as suddenly as it begins.
I suspect that this may be due to the fact that the blood is substantially thinned and "pooled" in this location and is serving as a reservoir for feeding reasons and/or larval nursery purposes.
The exiting blood can usually be seen to contain a number of amorphous fleshy objects that will manifest themselves in the flow. These are larvae. If this blood contaminates surrounding uninfected areas the infection is vectored and a new callus will begin to form within an exceptionally short period of time.
In advanced infections these calluses are highly overlaid in a scalelike manner, overlapping one upon the other in great number.
This trait greatly complicates eradication.
Individually the parasites and their shields can be seen as tiny white spots against the skin.
It is often necessary to rub or otherwise irritate the skin in order to highlight parasites at this level of development.
Collectively as the creatures mature, (grow) they merge to form large callused areas. This is due to the fact that when left undisturbed these individual parasites tend to grow in a slightly radial and forward manner. They soon connect with adjoining formations and eventually the mass assumes the appearance of a noticeable callus or they simply appear to the observer as would thickened, aged skin. The latter appearance is an indicator of young callus or (Newly colonized) regions.
No known limit has yet been established as to the attainable proportions of the size of a colony of embedded nematomorphic forms. In fact, there appears to be no arbitrary natural check to just how much or how wide an area of the host's skin surface this sheath of creatures can extend its colonizing activity.
The only difference between a callus and a lesion can be considered one of seniority with the lesion having precedence. A further definition would be that the callus is an enclosed wounding of the host while the lesion is an open wound that, due to suspected but yet to be identified abilities of the parasite, heals poorly, if at all.

THE COMING ECONOMIC CRISIS... WHY 1980 IS NOT 2006!

THE COMING ECONOMIC CRISIS...WHY 1980 IS NOT 2006!

"Hi Cliff
If the Fed continues to pump up interest rates to choke off inflation, isn't that going to strengthen the dollar? "
-D
***
Greetings, "D"
Yes, it will....to a point. The question then needs to be...How sound are the fundamentals that underpin the values being assigned to the dollar via higher interest rates?
It then becomes a matter of sustainability. Can higher interest rates that are attractive enough to mollify foreign investors be maintained at a level that won't break the back of the American public?
And...Will the foreign money market maintain its confidence in the future viability of the fiat dollar's domestic production based underpinnings?
It is important to remember that despite what is chanted on all channels as the fiat mantra, debt is NOT wealth.
Twenty five years ago, the answer to both of the above questions was an unqualified yes. Interest rates reached 21% in some cases, and still America's domestic chestnuts were pulled from the international fire with little real problem.
However, the chestnut in the fire this time may well be the 500 pound variety.
A quarter of a century ago the fundamentals that underpinned the American economy were quite different from what they are today. For one thing, there was a great deal more wealth producing industry onshore than there is currently. Also, the Baby boomer generation was in the prime of their productive years and the equity inherent in the "working man's bank" (the home) was nearly untapped.
Currently, the baby boomer generation is in the process of retiring en masse and moving from wealth producing to wealth absorbing. Not only that, but the drunken mortgage refinance craze of 2001-2005 has finally run out of steam. Now, instead of inheriting the folk's house, today's young adults will inherit the folk's second mortgage. This translates into more foreclosures, fire sales, and in general, the banks appropriating more of the already shrinking pie.
As for the industrial base, well, I don't think I need to elucidate on that issue. Just use your Chinese-made phone to call your local Internet provider or phone company if you want to visit with someone in India.
Alan Greenspan bailed out for a good reason. One of the problems facing helicopter Ben Bernake, as current Fed Chief, is Greenspan's enduring legacy as the guy who never saw a bubble he didn't like!
That "across the board" dollar debasement is a bill that will have to be paid sooner rather than later. It's one thing to pay it when there is equity in the nation's homes, land, industry, or in savings. It's another thing to try and pay it when those sources of revenue are exhausted or are experiencing serious shrinkage.
So, what to do? The answer under a fiat currency system is:.... Print more money! And...We all know where that leads. Printing more money is fine and dandy when real growth is occurring. When real growth is NOT occurring, the result is uniformly unfortunate for all small holders of a stake in the national currency.
It is germane to note that real growth is not necessarily reflected in the statistics released by the Government. In fact, in recent years, there has been a curious debasement of Government statistics that has ironically correlated itself with the declining state of the dollar.
To pull this Mephistophelean sleight of hand, off, and to come out on top, the government (AKA the Fed) knows full well that it will have to be willing to downsize the middle class. This is doable but is also a very dangerous game to play. Too many mistakes and you have the perfect formula for social discontent, its attendant repression and the potential for escalation into revolutionary parameters. We shall see.
Again, the question of the day is: Is there still enough elastic left in the system to keep the wool pulled over Joe six-pack's eyes?
I've been increasing my the overseas allocation of my thrift savings plan over the last several months and have been riding a good trend there, but how much lower do you think the dollar will sink?
In my "conservative" opinion? We will likely see, out of necessity, a de facto composite devaluation of up to 15% or more in true value of the dollar over the next 2 years. (or sooner) And...That is looking at the bright side of the numbers.... In fact, the dollar devaluation is already well underway, despite all the cheerleading we are hearing in the US press.
This possibility, should it come to pass in such a short time, (2 yearsX15% or more) is serious business.
The harvest will be all kinds of economic discontent and social unrest. However, not to worry, the Gov, already has that end of things figured out. Levels of "containment" are already in place for such potentialities.
However, it is the barest minimum "domestic" devalutation that will be required to be inflicted upon the American people if the dollar is to maintain the inverse of a respectible value overseas.
The other possible option is one that is rarely talked about, but may in fact be on the boards with the Fed as a "contingency plan."
That option would be to "split" the domestic dollar away from the international reserve currency "dollar." In effect, the domestic dollar would then be unconvertible on the world market without exchanging it first for the official "overseas" dollar. This exchange would take place and a discounted rate and would naturally work to the severe disadvantage of the American citizen who is holding dollars. The advantage to this approach is that the internal US dollar can be inflated all to blazes and the overseas value of the "reserve" dollar would be unaffected. Of course, again, the downside is the pain of ruin for many Americans, especially the ones who are retired or are on fixed incomes.
Guess it depends upon Venezuela, Iran, Nigeria, amongst others?
Actually, that is not as much the case as the press might want us to believe. It depends more upon the future dynamics of the past caprice of the policy makers of the international banking cartel and their run-boys in Washington and London.

WEB BOTS & THE GOLD AND SILVER ROCKET...TOO MUCH...TOO FAST?

THE GOLD AND SILVER ROCKET!

IS IT TOO MUCH...TOO FAST?

By CliffMickelson

cmicke1065@aol.com

04/19/06

Although a large number of gold and silver aficionados have fully expected to see silver at $20 an ounce before the end of the summer, few are those who have expected to see quite such a rapid appreciation as has been exhibited over the last 4 weeks of March and April of 2006.

And...While it is universally understood as true that too much of a good thing can have unanticipated and deleterious side effects, it is even more of a verity that the flux generated by such an ongoing condition may indicate other even more fatal peripheral problems in the works.

Therefore, although I personally remain a strong investor in both gold and silver, I confess to feeling more than a bit of unease concerning the excessive rate of valuation being currently exhibited by both silver and gold.

My "unease" trends to a focus on the potential for reactionary political and economic eruptions by forces entrenched within the current power structure. In certain "worse case" scenarios, the perception of a "loss of control" by such forces generally tends to actualize the submerged but innate antisocial behaviors that compose the true form and nature of the power structure's dynamic.

As such factions become increasingly desperate in their attempts to prop up the base that forms the old order, the fist of State manipulated power, heretofore worn as a velvet glove, becomes increasingly inhospitable and much less concerned with the appearance of toleration and humanity.

In other words, one should not underestimate the ruthlessness of the fiat banking cartel should they find themselves backed into a corner with no viable exit.

The old lion may be losing teeth, but he still has sharp claws aplenty.

In the last series of the Web Bot forecasts, (http://www.halfpasthuman.com/ ) the general prognosticated trend line indicated an exceptionally rapid disintegration of established social and economic protocols over the next few months, extending into the summer of 2006.

This would effect and presume a demise of parameters that have been in place for decades, and heretofore, taken for granted by most humans.

The general gist of the trendline matter was that the Bots predicted a severe plunge into a "stress" across the board on nearly all levels of human economic, ergo, social endeavor.

As a Historian, I need not mention that such occurrences are ALWAYS a recipe for social and political turmoil. Major wars, revolutions, and endless forms of other grief naturally spring forth from the forehead of such a beast.

At the time of the initial Web Bot report, I personally found the rate of projected decent to be rather extreme, as well as very worrisome, considering the depth of the forecasted plunge and the paucity of time metered for it's materialization.

It seemed to me upon first read that to achieve the estimated Web Bot goal and to contain it within the timeframe allowed, a series of preliminary radical events would need to occur. One such event would be the unalloyed and extreme valuation of commodities.

This, we now see occurring across the board. Ominously, while gold, silver and oil are capturing the headlines, it is little noticed that other commodities are spiking with a vengeance as well. This then, is the spadework required for the approaching debut of the second phase of the disintegration of the financial matrix.

One must keep in mind that although deleterious financial events now appear to be moving quickly, it remains even more likely that they will move with a greater celerity over the next few months.

Historically, all such past events tend to emerge unexpectedly from incubation and then gather speed geometrically. This is a common and predictable phenomena with a formula based on the nature of their own inertia.

The above paradigm is particularly true when the financial house that is in the process of collapsing is one that is constructed out of cards in the first place. In other words, it really should come as no surprise to see an avalanche toward financial entropy in action, as the entire structure that is now collapsing has been dead and rotted for much longer than it may seem at first blush.

What we are now on the threshold of experiencing is a matrix that traces its immediate roots in the artificial boom of the late Clinton years. Furthermore, although the patient collapsed and died on the operating room floor in 2002, he has been given the appearance of involuntary life due to the administration of an excess of less-than-subtle, life-support exigencies.

The administration of toxic amounts of financial adrenaline injected by the central bank into the "Corpus Aerarlum" over the last four years has given the global, (and in particular the US) economy the appearance of "life" functions on the wide screen of the public hospital monitor, but these transfusions have done nothing to cure the root cause of impending death.

Hence, all the meanwhile, the zombie lives, but the extremities of the body politic and the digits of the body economic, have been relentlessly putrefying.

As a result of the preordained failure of such ineffectual cosmetic and superficial economic panaceas, an imminent and inexorable rigor-mortis now threatens to engulf not only the patient, but the monitor as well, and perhaps, the very hospital itself!

It will be a correction of mammoth proportions!

This is the specter that now approaches as gold, silver, and commodities in general, rocket for the heavens.

So, strap yourselves into your seat securely, boys and girls, 'cuz the stench of the rot down below is about to get overpowering.

FETCH THE WHEELBARROW, MA...WE NEED A LOAF OF BREAD!

Greetings, providers of fleece:

The informed reader is by now, well aware that some months back the Federal Reserve announced an end to the reporting of M3.

For those readers as yet uninitiated to the Byzantine world of international fiat banking I provide the following brief synopsis.

"M3 is the broadest definition of the money supply: It includes coins, currency, checking accounts, money market funds, time deposits and institutional money market accounts.
The M3 does a better job of showing long-term trends by central bankers than either M1 or M2. "
http://www.investmentu.com/IUEL/2005/20051208.html
M3 was officially laid to rest on March 20, 2006. Now, less than two weeks later, ominous, but as of yet unsubstantiated rumors concerning M3 are circulating within the groups I work with. The gist of these rumors are that with M3 officially "off-line" and no longer being reported, that the Federal Reserve has begun placing HUGE orders for cash. Huge, as in "Trillions"!

If true, this will naturally cause a massive inflation of the economy.

I have discussed in the past how massive inflation is just about the only way left for the US government to work its way out of the debt morass it has created.

Of course this "debt float" will be done on the backs of the American taxpayers. Massive currency printing =massive inflation=a tax on you and I.

Further, if this report is true, and if word of such inflationary printing activities leak out to the more savvy high level international investors, etc., there will be a massive dump of the dollar on a global scale!

No doubt, this plan (to inflate the currency) has been in the works for some time and hence the deliberate premeditated demise of M3.

Is this reported initiation of Weimar style inflation truly the case? I have no true clue as of yet because, without the benchmark of M3 reporting, the true nature of the issue is obscured.

Obviously, our masters choose to tell us nothing. No surprise there....However, judging from the direction that all the pieces of the puzzle point, my educated guess is that some percentage of this scenario is likely the case. In the end, there is no other way out of the jungle for the ponzi scheme of fiat currency. So... We shall soon see. In the meantime, dear readers, it may be prudent to apportion a modest increment of your rapidly devaluing income into silver and gold as well as basic foodstuffs and commodities.

Uncle Cliffy says: ...An ounce of silver today may well be worth a pound of dollars tomorrow!

WHY THE WEB BOTS WILL CHANGE OUR WORLD!

2006-02-26T13:09:00.000-08:00

Greetings, Once And Future Masters Of Your Own Fate:

It is a given that the "implications" of the substance contained and revealed within the context of the Web Bot technology are of the profoundest nature. (As I am sure you are all aware)

As a result of this, we shall soon see it proven that the Web Bots are in fact an accidental discovery of a means to electronically amplify the innate ability of all human beings, both individually and collectively, to not only discern the flow of potential future realities, but to select, shape and to "force" them as well.

The Web Bots have illuminated a broader spectrum of the human experience than is, (has generally been) normally visible. It casts light upon that river of potentialities whereon the destiny of mankind floats.

The true value of the Bots will prove to be that they will submit into evidence that humanity need no longer float helplessly upon the metaphysical current of emerging historical potentialities, but can, in fact, master them and learn to steer a course upon them, where as before, humans were consigned by their own ignorance to drift as flotsam upon the river of their own destiny, subject to the most outrageous and unseemly caprice of fickle gods.

The Web Bots can teach us to master nothing less than the arrogance of the servant that has grown to be our master.

For that metaphysical power and flow of events, sensed and detected by the Bots is one which we have, for too long, allowed to master our collective destiny as a species. The irony remains that this power is, (and has always been) our own creation.

This revolutionary Web Bot defined amplification, personified within the matrix of the Web Bot technology, is in line with the theory of emergent Vs dominant potentialities that I have so often referred to in my past work on this subject.

Its nature may be viewed in a way as a sort of "competition" between a host of potential alternate realities in a realm just above the 3 d senses of man.

It is the metaphysical historical flow..., each of these potential realities are future extensions of humanity into a timeless and shapeless void....they emerge as reflections, endlessly vying with the other at any given moment for the metaphysical (human derived) energies needed to actualize as the dominant potentiality of the moment that will be experienced by its unwitting human creators.

It is important to realize that emergent success in this matter is determined by a variety of 'present" and ongoing energies and factors, all of which, however, are defined and predicated upon the collective moments of "precedent" historical potentialities that have already successfully actualized.

Everything that will happen, therefore is taking place "now." There is no time, (per se) in this context. Only the present moment exists and will always exist.

There is, nonetheless, an important caveat to the above....Only upon very Rare occasion will come that wrenching, upheaval that turns the world of humans upside down and inside out... The random emergence of such exceptionally rare "chaos" occurrences are what I term "mutant" potentialities.

These are the cross currents and rip tides in the metaphysical fabric of time and space that even such as a Harry Seldon could not anticipate.

These mutant, chaos, potentialities are assigned to do their work within a much larger than normal, (so large as to be an "incomprehensible" ) pattern of repetitious order; one that vastly exceeds the flow currently detected by the Web Bots.

Of course, there remains so much more of this rabbit hole yet to be plumbed. I suppose the question we should ask ourselves at this point is.. Who will take the red pill, and who will take the blue?

TO DREAM...WHEN THE NIGHT HOLDS FORTH A VISION OF DARKNESS

Posted By: CliffMickelsonDate: Monday, 20 February 2006, at 1:13 a.m.
****

To dream...When the night holds forth a vision of darkness
Then...

Know ye well this; that it shall come to pass...that Death will lay upon this land as does a mother lay in slumber with her child.

For she shall be as is a sleeping shadow upon the sorrowful Earth.
And, shall she cast forth her horrid blanket thrice upon the globe.

The salvation of the Sun flees before her and will hear no more the failed supplications of the damned.

For all that is of man will then come to naught.

Then too, shall perish feeble hope,... When the Father will turn his face from his children
In this way will most treasonous light extinguish pride.

And ... yet and once again, as has been ever before, she will come.
The wraith, A night stalker, a thief, a stealer of souls. She shall be shrouded as in a cloak of eternal darkness...

Behold her approach. the wail and keen of blackness, her night of chastisement, that blackest hour when the Angel of Death will harvest unto her bosom, all that is now her rightful due.

For of this, and more, have I seen.

This is the price we wager;
To dream...When the night holds forth a vision of darkness.

Greetings, Spin Doctors and other Dramamine Devotees!
Much internet time has been devoted to the recent posts by Michael Mandeville as to changes in the spin axis of Earth as it allegedly relates to Chandler's wobble.
This wobble is NOT "new" news, nor is it a "new" occurrance.
Both Michael and I have been tracking this anomally for some years now. We are in general agreement on most points.
However, we agree to disagree on several other key points.
To wit: The "wobble" that we are,(and have been)witnessing is NOT a deviation in the normal Chandler's wobble. Instead, it is a much more recent and perhaps ominous overlay of unknown origin.
My ongoing field research corroborates Michael's latest conclusions that there has indeed been a reset in the motion of a currently ongoing Earth wobble.
With that said, I both agree and disagree with Michael on the following several points.
#1...I agree that there has been a change.
#2...I agree that there was a brief pause (albeit more of a transitional nexus)
#3...This is not the normal Chandlers wobble. (And has not been)
#4...The spin axis of earth has begun a new and very pronounced straight line movement that oscillates from the Northwest @ 190 degrees to the Southeast @ 80 degrees and back covering approximately 3 arc degrees within a 24 hour rotational transit.
What this change portends for the future is anyone's guess. It is not the first time there has been a noticeable recalibration in the movement of the spin axis.
As positioned to the celestial location of Polaris, the axis has "morphed" markedly 3 times over the last 2 years. However, this particular change appears to be the most pronounced of any of the prior changes and it's new parameters appear to exhibit the most discipline and to be the most concise of any of the prior corrections that have occurred.

GOD, GOLD, AND AETIUS MEET ATTILA AND THE FIAT DOLLAR!

GOD, GOLD, & AETIUS MEET ATTILA & THE FIAT DOLLAR

Posted By: CliffMickelson

Date: Thursday, 12 February 2004, 7:10 p.m.

***
Greetings, all you fond reminiscers!
Ah! ...The golden years: 2003 and 2004!
Remember them well!
For...
These are the years that drove our dollar down!

Future students of economic history may someday point to these years as the period in which the defining potentialities that foretold the coming reality of the first half of the 21st century, emerged into full view.
It is not by accident that in 2003, China doubled its gold reserves ? adding more than 500 tons of the precious yellow metal to its central bank coffers.
China also relaxed it's gold laws, allowing ordinary citizens to acquire, transact and measure in the mythic monetary medium of Midas.

This is only the beginning.
We will soon see a similar rush to value throughout the entire region.
China's gold buying spree has already begun to spill over into adjacent nations.
The State Bank of Vietnam recently announced it is adding up to 10 tons of gold to its coffers. This will essentially triple the central bank's gold holdings and help bolster the value of Vietnam's currency, the Dong.

Even in the Western world, the move to gold has accelerated.
According to a recent Bloomberg news release, Russia, one of the top gold producers in the world, announced that it's gold reserves have hit a record high level of $79 billion!

But...What about America?
What does it all mean for poor old recently unemployed and Media befuddled Joe Six-pack?
What about his magnificently suffering 'significant other' and their remarkably undereducated offspring?
What all this really means, Joe, ol' buddy, is that your dollar is in BIG trouble.
Don't be surprised, Joe, if that peachy new Federal Reserve Note sitting in your wallet, fails to make it through the rest of the decade.
You see, Joe, these "back page news" actions by these other-worldly central banks, is actually a reflection of the true state of your homegrown and personal financial affairs!.
They give the lie to the front page fairy tale that Joe faithfully reads every morning in his newspaper.

They are a "no confidence" vote in the FRN as the world's reserve currency. They herald a move by creditor nations to hedge their bets with assets other than a mortgage on the Frank Church National Wilderness area, (AKA) US treasuries, and a comment by knowledgeable outside observers of their opinion of the present and future value of what Joe Six-pack's labor can produce.
One could also correctly view this 'move to value' dualistically; as a turning point, a major shift in the currents of world history, and/or as simply a hostile and subversive attack on the economic underpinnings and financial position of the US.
In addition to the gold stockpiling of the Eastern central banks, major forces in the Muslim world, (no friends philosophically of anything Western or Christian), are actively attempting to institute the pan-Islamic currency known as the gold Dinar.
This movement, conceived in nations such as Malaysia and Singapore, appears to be approaching a successful fruition due to the diligent guidance of excellent leaders such as Malaysia's Prime Minister, Dr. Mahathar.

It is doubtful if the US ruling class can summon forth the long term discipline and fortitude to wage this battle in the manner that it was fought in 1918, 1932-45, and again in the 1970s.
As such, this would be a situation of their own doing and the mother of all ironies.
It would be an American ruling class version of the battle of Carrhae, in which the arrogance of Crassus is betrayed by the careless indolence of his Gallic cavalry, and is dispatched by the arrows of the Parthians.
In this delicious scenario, it is "Ruling Roman Classus Americanus" who's mouth is then poured full of molten gold and who's skin is unceremoniously tanned and stretched upon a board for the savage enjoyment of an Eastern power.

What could possible bring about such a calamitous event? The answer is quite simply, the decline in the economics of the nation and the degenerate and decadent state of the materialistically drugged post W.W.II "consume-all" generation.
We in America have achieved such an advanced and refined state of rigor mortis and rot, that the sustaining nutriments effected by the uncommon valor and virtues of prior national generation(s) have all but vanished in an orgy of decadent consumerism.
This generation of Americans now seems content to wallow in a swamp of pompous ignorance, all the while, proclaiming that it is THEY alone who have created the best of all possible worlds out of the usual manure pile bequeathed them by history.
Such arrogance is the first harbinger of decline. In actuality, we coast recklessly on the momentum provided by those who came before.

What nature of justice awaits a nation filled with prodigal sons and daughters, loudly proclaiming as their own dominion, the glory and achievements of their parents and their antecedents?
It is in this state of inebriated delirium that we voraciously consume their patrimony and selfishly squander our children's inheritance.
This exquisite folly, in conjunction with, and coupled to, a deliberate, long term and patient attempt to accomplish the destruction of the cultural heritage, rewrite the history, and disarm the moral values of the ethnic groups that made this country great, may have worked their poison for too long.

We are the indolent and careless cavalry of Crassus!
To call upon the golden wealth of history one more time, I point out that:
In the Fifth century, Flavius Aetius, while reading an economic affairs report to the Emperor Valentinian, was foully poniarded by that wastrel's symbolic hand of the people.
A thousand years later, Calvin introduced a similar doctrinal dagger of slow mephitic toxin into the heart of the West that resulted, after four hundred years, in the death of God.
It appears now however, that neither Aetius nor God have left any heirs to carry on in their tradition.
So...you may ask yourself, who will save Rome from Attila this time?

THE PRODIGALS...BRINGING DEATH'S HOMELESS CHILDREN HOME!

THE PRODIGALS
BRINGING DEATH'S HOMELESS CHILDREN HOME
by CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com

Ah, yes...If only the empty desert could talk, what tales would the wind in the sagebrush whisper to us?

And..

If only the city alleyway and flophouse hotel, the mission feeding station and the freeway overpass could speak to us, of what unknown mysteries would they gossip?

Would they perhaps call to us in the name of our lost children? Our numbed and numberless prodigal brothers and sisters?

Our once and future flesh and blood?

Would they then speak to us of what its like to be homeless in America?
Perhaps they would.... But then again, perhaps not.

For...

Few Americans who have not been directly touched by the world of the homeless are able to comprehend what it is that they see before them each day on city busses and in public parkways.

Little do unwitting members of the emerging North American Union realize that the alleys behind our comfortable homes are just one more level to Dante's street-wise Inferno; and that THIS is the apartmentalized furnace wherein dwell the homeless...

More ominously, fewer North Americans still, truly realize how close to their own front door that alleyway grows with each passing day.

In fact, the world of the "homeless" is a complex and multilevel hierarchal world.
It is a universe rife with violence, death, rape, addiction, petty crime and despair.
It is also home to a large group of people who profess to prefer it that way.

Freedom, they say, isn't free. They gladly pay the cost.

Ironically, some of the most intelligent and talented people I have ever met were citizen shipwrecks on the jagged shoals of this homeless shore.

Great numbers of these faceless men and women are dead now.

Their faces are long gone, but a growing number of their brethren's bodies remain extant among us to stand as their witness.

Many are the current and past homeless who began their journey overtly. They were looking for the "easy way." A quick buck, an undiscovered or unguarded path leading to an easy way out.

Some others began their journey oblivious. Mental cripples, they were completely unaware that their life's train was leaving the station.

Still more, throttled by the addiction of an insidious disease, found themselves huddled amongst Kith and kin along the far shore of the River Styx.

So many childlike spirits, being ever impatient for the return of Charon's ferry, instead daily choosing to recklessly throw themselves upon the mercy of another world's churning waters; preferring to drown alone in a black liquid whose ragged course rages inexorably toward the abyss of night's indigo oblivion.

From 1985 to 1995 I lived and worked in an environment pervaded with participants in this world...this...inverted North American culture!

I came to know that the world of the homeless clings tightly upon the dark underbelly of North America. It is the mirror form and microcosm of the world that spawned it.

All its talent, all its beauty, all its horrors and especially all its ugliness, are to be found here. These vises and virtues permeate every molecule of each and every huddled form found in every darkened ally and every reeking empty dumpster.

The world of the homeless is a hall of distortions; a house of mirrors that cast back grotesque parodies of another place and time. It is the Dorian Grey of the false and shattered land of dreams that whelped it.

On cold park benches and in urine-stained doorways, only a thin cellulose tissue of lies serves as yesterday's discarded newspaper blanket; a sad hand me down of all that is no longer theirs to dream.

In this final inadequate broadside of daily obituaries, their names will someday be found missing, as they themselves are now severed, post partum, from a world that no longer shelters and consoles its abandoned denizens from the icy cold hand of waiting death.

But, the homeless know that the dark Lord of Death is patient. He bides his time. For he has marked each and every one of his prodigal charges.

Of all those waifs lost in the polyglot family of Man, these are his special children.
And...All too soon the long reach of Death will silently gather in his markers.

One by one.

One alley and one doorway at a time, Death will bring his homeless children home.

We would do well to remember, America, that someday sooner than you may suspect, there, but for the grace of God, go you and I.

WORDS & MEANING..AN INTERCOURSE IN CONGRESS WITH THE BEAST!

2006-01-01T02:57:00.000-08:00

Greetings, Readers:
And...Welcome to yet another renewal period on the short term lease of life.

The post below is relevant in every way to the above mentioned time remaining to us as we travel through the dream of time and space upon this blue rock.
But I dare say it is not intended for the frivilous nor is it for the faint of heart.

Simply remember this as another year dawns:

WHOMSOEVER CONTROLS YOUR WORDS CONTROLS YOUR WORLD!

And THAT is why...

WHY WE MUST EVER GUARD THE VIRTUE OF MEANING
-CliffMickelson

cmicke1065@aol.com

***
My Friends:

Behold the power of words... To control the word is to control the world.

Words whose past values are perverted through the intercourse of a present congress with the beast will become integral components in the structure and potentiality of a mutant changeling reality that our children will be fated to endure tomorrow.

Therefore, all generations, those before the light, must bear witness to an endless struggle ... for to control the conceptual essence of the word is to gain the richest conceptual prize.

This "prize" is a reward highly sought after in the Metaphysical as well as the physical universe. It is known by those in the self service and illumination of keen ambition that the word possesses as its passenger, a great power ... that whomsoever controls the meaning of words, controls the destiny Of Man.

Yet, despite this power, our words are but a frail vehicle charged with freighting a fragile cargo of perishable human perceptions.

Herein it is that meaningless sounds form a conceptual womb of meaning and birth forth substance and nourishment to all forms of past, present, and future perception.
Thus are two wary symbiotic energies mounted one upon the other. In that joining they become more than the sum of their parts.

In this way does our species then pass through time and space bound severally to its own creation in a symbiotic covalent union, a magnificent consummation of the energies of form with matter, and a divinity inspired out of clay; one whose residual substance is the ultimate arbiter of all human reality.

Again...It is the intangible essence of words; their ethereal "cargo" of perceptions, that forge the socially agreed upon potentiality of not only the world that once was, but the world that is, and most importantly, the world that will be.

Yet there is no known truth as delicate in drayage as the integrity and nuance of a word's meaning ... nor is there a tiger more fearsome than the capricious faithlessness of that formless beast of Adam upon which it so precariously rides.

We must beware...

It is understood by the masters of both dark and light; those who would possess us and those who would set us free; that meaning is lord of word and though word serves to delivers its servant unto a master, its delivery is amoral and only given virtue of the tenuous hold of meaning on the back of that guttural metaphoric tiger.

Therefore, meaning avoids usurpation only by agreeing to live or to die by the code of a specific relationship. As is the mother, so is the child. Meaning is in this way imprisoned by the nature of its umbilical connection to word.

This presents a great weakness. This is the flesh ne'ar touched by the immortal waters of the styx and so becomes a target to the arrow of Paris. It is here that evil can and often does wound the apprentice light force.

And...It is here on the underwomb of this grand opportunity that the fury of the night ever seeks to implant the seed of itself.

Evil impregnates itself thus: Essence, being the cargo of a word's meaning, is subject to form which owes mortal fealty to two creatures of eternal and universal corruption. One such corrosion is a natural corruption. It is benign. It is naught but an endless flow towards an end-time "entropy" of thought and motion. It is a value in pursuit of a worthy balance. It is a handmaiden of evolution and can be considered to be a positive process.
It's dark twin however, is unnatural and malignant.

It seeks to discharge and pervert its kin by allowing it to be slyly devoured piecemeal by the tiger upon which it rides.

Hence, it is of great importance that we remain vigilant against the dark force and growing present power of malignant corruption.

It is a virtue to husband the moral essence of our words and guard well their meaning. The cargo born of words is ever dear. We alone can arbitrate which seduction is benign and produces fruit and which is malevolent and brings forth monsters.

For both the malignant and the benign effect themselves upon those intangibles that are wrought out of the ribs of the vessel with which we forms our lives. Too easily therefore are they, (And as a result we) despoiled by dark intrigues.

It is against the Byzantine then, that it is our duty to preserver. We are charged to act as sentinels, and to post ourselves as pickets. We must forever be wary in the discharge of this cargo or live to see our patrimony lost.

This struggle is one without end. Our forefathers fought it, we now fight it, and our descendants will also fight it.

It is but one theater in an eternal contest that knows not the boundaries of time and space. For, as we ourselves were once destined to be, (as we are now) self-defined children of a future now passing, all that we are today will perish without a trace should we even once fail the memory of how it was that we came to be what we are at this moment.

For if there exists but one truth, it is that there will ever be children of the future Who will be, like us, self-defined by all that their perception tells them came before.

In this way are the future potentialities of generations unborn, brought forth from the womb of truth, or sprung from the loins of a lie...And, therein lies the importance to human kind ... That terrifying difference between the freedom of a self-empowered destiny or the slavery of a predetermined fate.

ATLANTIS UNCHAINED ...THE LEGEND OF THE RETURN OF POWER!

2005-12-09T23:25:00.000-08:00

(Exerpt from) THE LEGEND OF THE RETURN OF ATLANTIS
By CliffMickelson

Once upon a time the earth and seas in solemn sorrow lay as a blanket upon the creator of a fearsome secret. Shielded in this manner from an ever-seeking summons and judgment of the light, the dark secret and its maker lay as if in death, asleep upon the bosom of Mother Earth.

For this secret had been once born in the heart of a child; a child brought forth in joy in the union of Earth and Sun. But sullen pride, a jealous handmaiden of Mother Earth, conspired at birth to ruin the child and so contrived that before his time he would too soon dare to challenge the glory of his father.

To this end did Pride one day persuade the child to construct of his own flesh a mighty stone and to place it high upon a mountain peak where the passage of the Sun could ever be seen.

So cleverly fashioned was this stone that it would respond to the presence of Father Sun. In so doing, this wondrous stone would gather unto itself the radiant energies of the father and deliver their captured power in caged subjection to the child.

For Pride had foreseen in the manufacture of this device, how fatal would be the powers of the father were they to become those of a child not yet in the full wisdom of manhood.

At first the child of Earth and Sun was clever in his newly constructed conceit, but soon the arrogance of youth became reckless before the knowing eyes of his father.

And so it was that the falseness of the child was betrayed.

In his rage, the Sun's powers became transformed with energies beyond imagination and falling upon all below, transfixed creation with a force beyond the ken of mortal understanding.

Overwhelmed and unprepared, the wondrous stone shattered as if made of glass. The child of Sun and Earth trembled before the baleful wrath of solar chastisement. Then, seeing his base intrigue destroyed, he too, was cast down senseless among the shattered shards and ruins of his works.

Yet, before the vengeance of Father Sun could rain down its final blow, it found itself confounded by the ways and wiles of Mother Earth.

For a mother ever loves her children.

She rose in tempest lashed waves. Tall mountains trembled and dry land sank before her.

Her unexpected anguish baffled and misled the fury of her husband.

Perplexed, he sought elsewhere to root out the sin of pride.

And so Mother Earth sheltered her banished and sleeping son. She wrapped her blanketing arms lovingly around him and drew him close to her breast. Then she grieved.

And Earth's tears flowed protectively over her darkened child until they lay many fathoms upon him. And the creatures of the sea came to dwell where once there had been land.

As eons passed, memories began to fade. The fierce rays of the sun mellowed, relaxing their vigilant and probing search. Soft zephyrs of countless summers soon ceased to whisper of the secret land where once a child of Earth and Sun had built a monument to the deception of Pride

In this way did Mother Earth protect her own and defy all who would desire to seek him out.

But not all memories were stilled. The ancient chronicles prophesied of a time soon to come when what once was, would one day be again.

And that time is now.

This is that day, and we are its witness.

And, once upon a day yet to come again, future visions of prophets yet unborn will bear forth our final testimony of how, in the wash of centuries, an aimless trickster, that old rascal Brother Time, had slowly thinned the yarn that formed the shroud of protection once cast deeply over the dark secret of the son of Earth.

Then will they whisper the story of how bit by piece its mantle of rock and sand danced, washing away upon the waves of music pouring forth endlessly from the horn of time.

And legend will tell of that fateful day when once more the radiant energies of the Sun fell upon the exposed shards of a once mighty stone of power.

Perhaps they will relay to future generations how, slowly at first, and then with greater and greater effect, the growing power of the Sun increasingly pieced the weakened veil of Earth that protected her child and his secret.

Perhaps they will speak of how the solar energies were gathered yet again by the ancient scattered shards of power. In lowered voices they will tell of how that power sought out unity, was unshackled and thus made whole.

This and more will they tell of the fearsome secret unchained and how on that day it brought forth from the fathomless depths of a watery grave the secret bier of Atlantis... The child of Son and Earth.

HOW LINCOLN'S CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS ENABLED THE NEW WORLD ORDER!

2005-12-09T11:39:00.000-08:00

CliffMickelson

I am often tasked to explain to those new to the issue how it is that we in North America find ourselves in the vanguard of the push to the New World Order. There are many threads dangling from the cloth of Western civilization that are the ravel of this issue. Some of them are ancient in origin and others much less so. These threads wind themselves thickly through a gossamer garment of history spanning a thousand years and more.

The webbed sinew of the New World Order is found woven throughout all levels of the Western social and political human dynamic. No enterprise of human industry has been left un-pricked by the needle that pulls them.

As a historian I find it an endless marvel that the first truly visible American cloth produced on this loom is one unwittingly being worn by modern students intent on holding a candle against the onrushing NWO darkness.

Little does Horatio suspect the name of the tailor who has dressed him in black. I wager that the tailor himself would be perplexed if not deeply offended by the credit. Nonetheless, the fact remains...wittingly or not, the nature of the globalist path we walk today is irrefutably the survey of one man, Abraham Lincoln.

"Honest" Abe was a man of plain appearences and iron will. He was a great man by any measure, but it was his unfortunate fate to be a man who's hijacked good intentions coupled with his determination, political cunning, and force of personality detoured the destiny of a nation. Like the allegorical snowball rolling down hill, that nation in turn, now threatens to detour the history of the world.

Or... is that nation simply a tool climaxing a global act of consumation?

How is it that the Northern Victory in Mr. Lincoln's War was a stepping stone to globalism?

Prior to the Sumpter provocation, a large number of the northern States and their citizens were opposed to violent attempts to prevent secession. Lincoln needed a pretext to call for military solutions. (Does that old game sound familiar?)

Of course, Lincoln was a brilliant man and a consummate politician. He was much smarter than the average bear. This, combined with his simple, backwoodsy manners and sincere ways, and his lanky awkward gait and dress, gave him a common man's appeal.

These elements all combined to devolve to Lincoln an immense popularity with his partisans and to cause his opponents to fatally underestimate his caliber.

Additionally, on all the core issues, Lincoln was a sincere man who's sincerity communicated quite well.

A constituent had little gray area when making up his mind over Lincoln. You either agreed with him or not because his position appeared to be that plain and straightforward. However, as we know, he was also adept at using this persona with rather disingenuous effect on several levels.

The Northern States, being left without the South, would have fared quite well.

There is a high probability that Confederation would have never taken place in Canada and that the Northern half of the North American Continent would have amalgamated. The Northern States also claimed the far West. (California and Oregon)

Potential conflict of interest with the South still remained in the territorial Southwest. Further Southern aggrandizement at the expense of Mexico would have also been quite likely.

Conversely, if the southern states had been allowed to leave the Union peacefully, it is quite possible that within a few years, at least a few of them would have rejoined their northern neighbors. The others, barring a centralizing catalyst, may have continued on as second rate semi-sovereign powers with a loose affiliation.

The war forced the South to centralize much more than it would have otherwise. The deep distrust of central Federalist power was perhaps the prime motivation of many secessionists to begin with.

Therefore, the South was a confederacy based upon decentralization. This conundrum was fated to fail as it flew in the face of the dominate Western sociopolitical and historical trends of the 17th, 18th, 19th and 20th centuries combined.

In the end, it is ironic that the Southern raison'd' etre of decentralization was one of the prime causes of their undoing.

As is usually is the case with successful historical trends, a modern 21century reverse reactionary movement to centralization is now beginning to be subtly felt as this historical tide nears its apex of maximum flow and laps the shores of its end logic point of Global government as seen in the NWO.

I note that it can be successfully hypothesized that all movements, both political and social contain within themselves the seeds of their own destruction. These seeds are invariably germinated as their vessel reaches its full flower.

The Constitution was written is such a way that it specifically spelled out the powers to be delegated to the Federal Government. All other issues and powers not so mentioned are unquestionably described as to remain within the dominion of the sovereign states.

Prior to Mr. Lincoln's war, the majority of Americans considered their loyalties to lie first with their home State and then secondly with the collective body of States known as the States United.

Hence, when Lincoln, through the aegis of General Winfield Scott offered Robert E. Lee command of the Union armies, Lee declined, citing his primary loyalties to the Commonwealth of Virginia. The enclosed text is the body of that letter. Note the reference to the defense of his native State.

***

Robert E. Lee Resignation from US Army (to Winfield Scott)
Arlington, Washington City P.O.
April 20, 1861
General:

Since my interview with you on the 18th instant I have felt that I ought not longer to retain my commission in the Army. I therefore tender my resignation, which I request you will recommend for acceptance.

It would have been presented at once, but for the struggle it has cost me to separate myself from a service to which I have devoted all the best years of my life & all the ability I possessed.

During the whole of that time, more than 30 years, I have experienced nothing but kindness from my superiors, & the most cordial friendship from my companions. To no one Genl have I been as much indebted as to yourself for uniform kindness & consideration, & it has always been my ardent desire to merit your approbation.

I shall carry with me to the grave the most grateful recollections of your kind consideration, & your name & fame will always be dear to me. Save in the defense of my native State, I never desire again to draw my sword.

Be pleased to accept my most earnest wishes for the continuance of your happiness & prosperity & believe me most truly yours

R. E. Lee

SOURCE: The Wartime Papers of R. E. Lee (New York: Bramhall House, 1961), pages 8-9.

***

The Sentiments of men the caliber of Robert E. Lee and others were widely if not nearly universally echoed among the common citizenry of the varied States as well.

One's loyalty was to the State of his birth and then to the States United.

Perhaps the most dramatic of visible effects wrought by the war of 1861 was the reversal of that sentiment. The long term effect of the death of regionalism and the rise to maturity of nationalism can be considered to have flowered in full form in the 20th century.

As a new century dawns, the defining rush to World Government is but the collective final end logic of this dynamic.

It remains to be seen if the auto-contained seeds of self-destruction are yet to be germinated.

MORGELLONS WHAT WE DO AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIBER DISEASE!

2005-12-07T16:18:00.000-08:00

To the question, "What is Known of Morgellons" the only possible answer is:

"Not Much"

MORGELLONS...WHAT WE DO AND DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE FIBER DISEASE!

-By CliffMickelson

Section Five...The Callus:

***

It should be clearly stated that among the few certainties extant about Morgellons that are absolutely provable is that there exists a nematode-like life form who's role is central to the affliction.

This fact can be irrefutably summoned into any court of evidence. The worm is a changeling. It is but one of several incarnations documented as complicit actors in a tragi-drama intent on opening to ever-wider numbers of audiences around the world.

As each successful actor has his own unique foil, so too does this peculiar creature have a proprietary shield.

This shield is what we know as the "callus."

Masked behind the security of an artificially manufactured "callus" the Morgellon's nematomorphic worm is master of the host's corporal stage. Hence it remains free to summon forth all the allied sounds of its diseased fury. And ... at curtain fall, it will leave in its wake only the grist of ruined lives and shattered dreams as evidentiary grounds for judgment by its unhappy audience of unwilling reviewers.

It is the organism's creation and composition of the callus and the nematomorph method of utilizing and dermo-forming the callus that begs understanding. To do so is to take the first step on the path that hold a promise of gaining the offensive and of an eventual cure.

My recent research indicates that the callus is more a product of the creature than a reaction of the host. This is more important of a distinction that it may at first appear. The callus, although it mimics skin to a phenomenal degree is, (IMO) NOT skin, or is at best a mixture of plasma and other body fluids chemically transformed by a specialized secretion of the nematomorph.

We know that the finished product is anchored with a tenacity that defies normal convention.

The callus usually makes its debut as a thick clear semi-sticky fluid extruded directly from the endodermis regions. Its consistency is comparable to a clear corn syrup. It has a drying time measured in minutes and at times in seconds. As a result, it is not uncommon for it to escape initial notice.

(This liquid also has other proto-funtions more apropos to other chapters)

The above described secretion is the cement from which the organism builds its callused fortress. It serves the creature well in both a defensive and offensive capacity. As the callus forms and hardens the adult nematomorph often integrates itself into it.

The secretion is also utilized to wash away the caustic effect of chemical attack and to reestablish its dominion within a perimeter where it may have suffered reverses due to enzyme attack or even cases of zealous tweezer tenacity.

More significantly, upwellings of this liquid are also found in previously uninfected areas of the host's body immediately prior to new or expanding colonization.

When left to pursue its natural course, the callus often exhibits a number of "flaps" or skinlike flakes extruding from its edge. When this leading or extruding flap is successfully grasped by tweezers and removed without the aid of being softened by enzyme action or 91% alcohol saturation, It tends to take its leave from the host body in the form of strips that are skin-like in appearance and are generally longer than they are wide.

As the strip is removed it will often appear to rip through the adjoining and/or connected callused areas much like a string through a bag of dog food.

Pain however, is usually minimal along the horizontal length being removed. It is only sharp at the point where the far end section of the nematomorph may be accessing the blood of the host.

The removed section of callus exhibits one interesting characteristic well worth noting. It, as well as any other removable sections in the immediate vicinity, will always only be completely removable in the same direction!

Once that direction is determined, the targeted strips of callus must always be peeled backwards against themselves. They cannot be entirely removed in any other manner or direction and will only break off if contrary removal is attempted.

As stated previously, this may be due to the fact that at there are nematomorphic forms that have physically embedded themselves within the matrix of the callus liquid prior to complete hardening. This tends to form lines of fracture that appear as strips whose borders are defined by a mutual point where other embedded objects are encountered or meshed with.

One additional result of this embedding is that each "strip" of callus has great tensile strength in a horizontal or linear direction. The strength is directly proportional to its length. It is more evident for older and longer embedded creatures and less for younger and therefore shorter ones.

The entire callus is further secured on the underside, (or skin side) not only by the super glue effect of the secretions of the creature, but also by dozens of protuberances that are somehow created as the callus forms and that appear to serve in the capacity of anchors. These "podia"give the undercarriage of the callus an appearance similar to that of the exoskeleton of a millipede or similar creature

(Note)

It is the "peeled back against itself" motion of callus removal that best enables the curved scimitar shaped podia to release their formidable hold on the flesh of the host.

Discerning observers will also note that there are often numbers of small nematomorph forms to be found among these podia.

To sum up: It is my contention to date that the callus is composed not only of the extruded secretion alone, but also that the adult worm is fond of encasing itself in this matrix.

Once embedded, it will remain fixed along its entire length with only a small flap of material protruding from just under the top leading edge of the callus. From these many points along the perimeter, the callus will often grow. These are the allegorical gates of the city. It is from here that one of the methods of creeping expansion are accomplished by the aid of further secretion by the creature as it grows and moves outwards in a horizontal and semicircular manner.

SECTION 5 ACTIVITY WITHIN THE CALLUS

New or juvenile forms found entering the above described callus life stage can be removed embedded in commensurately tiny strips of callus. Interestingly, and to the best of my knowledge, there appears to be no predetermined limit to the length that they may eventually attain.

I have removed such strips that have exceeded an inch or more and many new or small ones of less than a 1/32 of an inch. These strips tend to be very flat and almost "dry" at the leading edge, but much more moist at the end farthest from the leading edge of the callus.

A great majority of these objects that are not completely integrated together in a common secretion with others of their kind will exhibit two horn-like projections on the outer or forward leading edge. These "horns" give the removed object a look resembling a flatworm or fluke with the antennae of a slug or snail. (hence the original designation of "fluke form)

It is these extrusions or prior mentioned flaps that can be grasped by tweezers if one is quick enough. They will often slightly extend beyond the edge of the advancing, (growing) callus or lesion and will noticeably extend themselves even further when stimulated by outside pressure slightly behind their location.

The pressure required to achieve this end is that which occurs when the callus is repeatedly and lightly stroked or rubbed with any foreign object.

Should one attempt to seize this flap but then miss in the attempt, the extrusion will likely retract or curl back under the callus with impressive speed.

The far end of this form, when successfully removed, is anchored in the flesh of the host. It is at this point that the creature is accessing the blood stream. Following successful removal, it is at this point that the host will often bleed profusely. However, such a flow often suddenly stops as suddenly as it begins.

I suspect that this may be due to the fact that the blood is substantially thinned and "pooled" in this location and is serving as a reservoir for feeding reasons and/or larval nursery purposes.

The exiting blood can usually be seen to contain a number of amorphous fleshy objects that will manifest themselves in the flow. These are larvae. If this blood contaminates surrounding uninfected areas the infection is vectored and a new callus will begin to form within an exceptionally short period of time.

In advanced infections these calluses are highly overlaid in a scalelike manner, overlapping one upon the other in great number.

This trait greatly complicates eradication.

Individually the parasites and their shields can be seen as tiny white spots against the skin.

It is often necessary to rub or otherwise irritate the skin in order to highlight parasites at this level of development.

Collectively as the creatures mature, (grow) they merge to form large callused areas. This is due to the fact that when left undisturbed these individual parasites tend to grow in a slightly radial and forward manner. They soon connect with adjoining formations and eventually the mass assumes the appearance of a noticeable callus or they simply appear to the observer as would thickened, aged skin. The latter appearance is an indicator of young callus or (Newly colonized) regions.

No known limit has yet been established as to the attainable proportions of the size of a colony of embedded nematomorphic forms. In fact, there appears to be no arbitrary natural check to just how much or how wide an area of the host's skin surface this sheath of creatures can extend its colonizing activity.

The only difference between a callus and a lesion can be considered one of seniority with the lesion having precedence. A further definition would be that the callus is an enclosed wounding of the host while the lesion is an open wound that, due to suspected but yet to be identified abilities of the parasite, heals poorly, if at all.

Hi Cliff:

"In my opinion, what the webbots are "seeing" is the
natural remote viewing of the human internet
population that occurs as a normal part of human
existance that most are not aware of. The webot
reports correspond directly to what I learned in
remote viewing, namely that the stronger the emotion

Greetings, Nancy:

Yes, I agree. This is exactly what the Web Bots are relaying...AND, with the above quote from Al Capp still reverently ringing in our currently tinnitus-plagued ears, let us give pause to consider that the computer/Internet is simply acting as an accidentally discovered amplifier.

It serves to bring that remote and enigmatic phenomena into view and gives it a level of a wider audibility.

In their present state the Bots remain a fairly crude tool but nonetheless, a tool with a "future"!

(How's that for a bad pun?)

To put the function of the Web Bots into perspective, we may reasonably compare the phenomena they have uncovered to that of the dilemma experienced by an acoustic guitar player who, lost in the din of the band, suddenly discovers the miracle of amplification!

Now, thanks to this new "amplification" technology he gains incredible powers that translate into "lead" guitar capabilities; whereas before, both he and the listener had to strain to hear the guitar's feeble melody.

Eventually, when we learn to refine current Web Bot technology, we will be able to fine tune and then direct the vibrating strings that thread through such formerly enigmatic human energies and abilities. They can then serve us in an orchestrated and concerted direction.

Ergo: Having once emerged from the dark chrysalis of the cave and discovering the glory of sunlight, our logical next step is to put that sunlight through a magnifying glass in order to burn our fingers....er...opps!...I mean, harness it's power and burn someone ELSE's fingers!

Yes my friends, lacking the supervision of an adult, such an undertaking is a bit risky for a pyro and pyre prone species such as ours.

But Man rarely is a faithful husband to Prudence in these hectic end-of-days, days, eh?

Instead, our hero invariably chooses to recklessly divorce his virtuous maid for the seductive allure of an unconquered Siren.

Eschewing all domestic rationality, he can be counted on to espouse in her place a Sybille who's song of his own destruction wafts out to all lusting wastrels on a poisonous zephyr of dark-side ill-intent or.... just plain bad choices, usually compounded by a breezy dose of stunning stupidity.

Geez...What a dork!

And...

As usual, our feckless and ear- wax free modern-day Odysseus can be faithfully relied upon to ever fail to note that the source of his malevolent melody conveniently always emanates from just beyond technology's visible horizon

So...Will we burn down our own home sweet home while trying to hold a candle against the rage of the night?

Probably!

But in the meantime, let's try to imagine a spin-off technology that can create or actualize the mental energies and force-of-will of those who input it!

Is this the power of prayer run amuck?

Or is it simply an opportunity for yet another Sylph Lord to obtain search and destroy capabilities?

If history is any guide, it is a safe bet that dark-side interests are already working on proprietary ways to hijack yet another universal human patrimony.

As Mr. Tesla found to his chagrin, those who fail to learn from the past often end up working for George Westinghouse.

The good news here is that the pioneering technology of the Web Bots is currently mining only the very top surface of the metaphysical mother lode.

The real ascended bonanza still lies buried below and waiting to reward the perserverent prospector.

By the way, when last seen it was rumored to be about six feet down. So start digging!

Naturally, the proximity and potential disinterment of such a long buried power must be a source of endless, fevered panic to the laboring slaves of night.

These unfortunate members of the Earth's ruling elite been charged with convincing We the Sheeple that the promised land of hope and liberation will forever remain just a few miles north of Tijuana.

To continue on as slave-kings they must toil "sans cesse" to persuade us that only a lunatic would chance a wade across the corpse polluted River Jordan to the shores of El Dorado beckoning to us "Un poco mas alla!"

Location? (Probably somewhere near Marin County)

Now, some food for thought:

These newly amplified "extrasensory" potentialities of the Human species are but one piece of the overall puzzle of our species collective 3d experience.

AWOL for countless eons, this mystery sourced DNA circuitry and its intangible product has been consigned by TPB to dwell SOL as a spiritual MIA on the barren and un-amplified DMZ that borders Terra Incognita Metaphysica....(TIM)? (Whew!)

So, my initially overwhelmed avatars.....What shall we lovers of other-worldly music finally hear when the technology becomes available to further amplify, interpret, and then integrate, the voluminous symphony of all the complementary and similar powers that certainly exist in other species along side those of ours ?

The warm and fuzzy folk wisdom of Lil Abner to the side, I am ever convinced that there is no such thing as a "dumb" animal!

Will pay-backs be a mean bitch?

If so....What is the penalty for having repeatedly bit the hand that fed you?

THE SECOND HAND HUMAN CONDITION?

2005-11-28T18:55:00.000-08:00

CliffMickelson

Hi Cliff

At http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta228.htm it says that the Deep Impact probe was not actually sent to the comet Tempel 1 but rather to the Earth's dark twin. Is there a way that this can be looked at based on observations that have been made available so far?

-John

***

Greetings, John:

I don't know.

Some folks open their egg on the small end and others on the large. The pressing issue for those who crack the egg in the middle is which group to assimilate, re-educate or eradicate first.

In the end, your guess will be as good as mine.

But, since you have opened up Pandora's box, let's have some fun.

In answer to one of your questions, of course there are many ways this question can be looked at. There are likely as many ways to look at it as there are observers.

In the end, we are dealing with the subjective nature of a perceived reality and to some extent it's relativity.

Both are served to us as second hand meals.

Who's word do we take? Do we take NASA's word or the Zeta's?

Here is where we discover that the art of truly successful mind control, (hence "reality" creation) is often a preemptive one.

If nothing else, it is labor intensive and requires a good press agent.

In this context, as in most other similar cases, we are being asked to take someone's "word" for it that something has occurred.

We are often intensely courted in hopes that we will allow the seduction to adopt itself as our personal "reality"

The pre-packaged actualization of this event is based on the consumer credit card of "faith"

To buy on credit is what we are expected to do no matter which party we are persuaded to side with. Either one covets the life blood of interest that is charged.

It is most curious that the endless seduction to win over "faith," seeks to house itself in an edifice we must construct on the perception of persuasive credibility.

Nothing more, nothing less. A bit flimsy for a foundation, but, hey! What the heck!

So the seeming reality of any event "actualization" itself as a "reality" for many of the potential customers being sought is thereby create-able for only those who are willing to submit to its pre-conditioned requirements...

Often this pursuit assumes the nature of a popularity contest; one that on a personal intercourse or exchange between parties, commonly originates out of thin air and validates itself via the same currency.

Kind of reminds me of the way the Federal Reserve functions!

We must all assume on the basis of faith in order to function socially.

Ergo: I assume the sun will rise tomorrow, that certain terrorists did indeed destroy the World Trade center, that you are John and I am Cliff.

However, I am more certain that I am Cliff than I am that you are John, but in the end I am perplexed to truly "prove" either to myself.

You are afflicted similarly. In many cases we both may be more certain of the (so called) factual basis of our assumptions than in others.

If a man says that he is my father, I can prove that he is indeed related if I am willing to do the research. This is the value of science. Yet in the end, it too, falls victim to the relative requirements of faith.

If the Government says that the Tonkin Gulf event did occur and then drafts me because of it, am I now a tool of a lie or the truth?

If the lie is never challenged will it be the truth? And if a lie, will my reality be condemned as the same or will it eventually be redeemed by a superior metaphysical dynamic that will eventually dissolve the unstable elements that form the compounded lie?

Either way, the immediacy of the issue is...I am much less able to personally validate the precepts that I am given second hand and that then place a third party demand upon me that I integrate it as an important part of my reality.

So....

Who sent the probe? NASA or the Zeta's?

Did it land on the comet or on Earth's dark twin?

We must all make that choice if we wish to participate in such a media event and assign it lasting personal significance.

What do you think occurred? And...more importantly, "How" does it really matter to those who are currently disenfranchised from the selling point advertised as the value of the issue.

STARLINGS STAR IN STARRY EYED THESPIAN'S ILL-STARRED PRODUCTION!

2005-11-18T13:46:00.000-08:00

The ubiquitous Starling!

If ever an avian avatar were to embody the essence of Loki, he would chose the form of the Starling as the vehicle best suited to ruffle the feathers of we mortals!

The Starling is a pest who's greatest redeeming value is that it is the bird you love to hate.

Starlings are not native to the United States. They were first introduced to North America from England in the late 1800s by an itinerant admirer of Shakespeare named Eugene Scheiffelin.

This fine gentleman had a keen ken for all the fictionally feathered fellows that once flew about the playwright's Globe.

The dapper Mr. S, (No doubt working as a secret agent for the Crown) released 60 Starling in New York's Central Park.

Apparently the Starlings took their role to heart, for it seems that now... all the world is their stage.

Pandora's box had been opened!

And....From those sixty or so winged wraiths of woe are now descended the estimated one to two billion starlings currently patrolling the skies of North America.

Starlings are exceptionally intelligent little rascals!

As the beleaguered owner of a few dozen Cherry trees I can attest that in a head to head contest, the only birdbrain to be found at the scene of the crime is ... yours truly!

A Starling knows the difference between Cliff with a 12 gauge and Cliff with no 12 gauge!

I am barely out the door with ol' Betsy freshly primed and cradled in my arms before the word is out. Down to the ground go the Starlings as they commence an amazing show of evasive action between the trees. Meanwhile, their less mentally gifted cousins, the blackbirds and the Robins, are left sitting in the tree wondering what the heck all the commotion is about.

"Uh...Duh..Hey George! Yea, you with the cherry in your mouth!....Who is that guy pointing that metal "stick" at us, anyway"?

Meanwhile, a mile or so away, (And at least fifteen minutes later) the supreme council of the Starling Varmint and Pest Association send back a scout to see if Cliff has the temerity to still be parked under what he mistakenly believes is next winter's cherry preserves!

Our chosen flying feathered friend is no fool! He will make a wide loop around the orchard unerringly out of range of the shotgun.

Starlings have eyesight that would beggar that of an eagle. If Six-gun Cliff has stumbled back into the house for a cup of morning grog, the all clear is sounded; then like the locusts that plagued Egypt...a cloud of doom for this years cherry crop descends from the heavens!

Just give those foul feckless fowl a half hour! That's all the time they need to relieve any cherry tree owner of the necessity for hiring pickers!

To add a wee bit of cavalier, "in your face" insult to a pirate's premeditated injury, All Starlings KNOW the range of a shotgun! I

t's gotta' be genetic! No Starling EVER flies a straight path when artillery is in the picture. Instead the entire congregation of wannabe sinners will make a wide loop around the intended object of their thievery, all the while hurling immense amounts of raucous feathered invective at the source of their frustration.

But not to worry. The choir from hell will be back! And when they do, they will bring their next of kin from the land of brimstone to share in the delicious fruits of sin!

Starlings! Truly... the bird you LOVE to hate!

It's no wonder the English learned to bake them in a pie! It was the only way they could at least get some of their stolen produce back!

THE COMING IONIZATION OF PLANET EARTH ...CHAPTER 2

THE COMING IONIZATION OF PLANET EARTH...CHAPTER TWO!

By: Cliff Mickelson
Date: Thursday, 17 August 2005

Greetings, All:

I have received a large number of emails asking about the Sun and the coming ionization of Planet Earth.

Many wish to know if there will be warning.

The answer is: Yes.....

So I repeat for the benefit of those yet unacquainted...

We are going to have plenty of warning on the warm up, (we're getting some now) ...But there will be almost no warning on the actual three day kill wave of ionization when it arrives.

That cosmic "wave" will strike suddenly in a manner similar to an ocean tsunami. However, it can be survived.

Here is what I am directed to say on that particular event:

On that one morning when the sky burns like fire and the red flames of sunrise are not extinguished but instead grow to consume the heavens; then you must go inside your homes and close all the doors and shutter all the windows.

Gather your loved ones in the center of your home and do not under any circumstances venture forth into the light that consumes.

Do not succumb to the desire to gaze out the window.

Do not in anyway look upon the magnificent horrors occurring.

For.... As it came to pass with the wife of Lot; those who do so will likely die.

For three days and three nights the planet will be purified in the ethereal furnace of an electric fire that burns across a tortured sky and writhes across the heavens.

It will be as the fire and brimstone of old.

Then the Angel of Death will pass and those who have survived his passing will know a new world. Much of that which was known before and many of those who knew it will have passed beyond the gates of heaven's fire.

But others will continue on.

As much as a third of the planet may perish. Surprisingly, few plants and animals will be apparently affected. They too will pass into a world changed forever.

More remains to be told yet that is all I have to say on the matter for now.

THE COMING IONIZATION OF PLANET EARTH...CHAPTER 3

by CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com
9-14-05

Greetings, Once and Future Krispy Kritters:

The events of the last few years, (and even decades) point inexorably in one direction....A coming ionization of planet Earth.

Like the Nile River in the late summer, the waters of energy have already begun to rise, driven by a distant and inscrutable force. Flood tide has yet to arrive, but unlike the slow and methodically increasing overcharge of energy we are dealing with now, (hence, chemtrails) the final surge will be violent and massive.

The imminence of this massive charge of energy and light is not a new event. It has happened before. Humanity possesses a dim collective memory of it. It is a "second coming of the light" of sorts, but not the kind expected by the more orthodox believers among us.

However, this described event can be found mentioned in some prophesy as well as in several different Marian Apparitions, in particular the visions of Fatima and Garabandal.

I first began to sense the arrival of this power among us some years ago. At the time I didn't have a clue as to what it was I was perceiving. Nor did I have any firm idea as to the exact nature of what it was that insisted on presenting itself before me.

Before long however, the increasing amount of unease I felt, in tandem with the persistent refusal of logical deduction to lead me anywhere else, soon gave me cause to begin to research my intuitive visions.

As my work in this area began to unfold I found myself astounded by the plethora of validating sign that made itself known.

It is safe to say at this point that we are well along in our journey into the light.

Each passing month brings more sign. As the sun continues to destabilize and cosmic blasts from sources unknown increasingly wreak their effect, the Earth and its creatures respond accordingly.

We often hear the term "vibrating" at a higher level.

Such a term is wont to be taken for being "new age" blather, but as it turns out, it is a description based in some fact.

Imagine if you will an empty skillet on an electric stove. As the stove elements transfer energy to the skillet, the skillet dissipates the energy into its surrounding medium. The transfer of heat is nothing more than a transfer of energy via excited, (or vibrating) matter. When the skillet cannot transfer energy to other sources as quickly as it receives it "vibrates" at a higher level. As the input of energy reaches flood tide, the matter that forms the skillet begins to reach critical mass. It then can be actually seen to begin noticeably vibrating on the stove top. If left to its own ends it will actually begin to jump and vibrate off the stove top or simply explode in fragments.

This is a corollary to what is happening today to earth and its sister planets.

In fact, it is the nature of what is now happening to all matter in the physical solar system. The battery that is "Electric Earth" and the subatomic matter that forms all its electric denizens is being increasingly overcharged. The Earth responds by attempting to throw off the excess energy in a host of ways. Many of them are still subtle but many others are becoming increasingly noticeable.

Hence ... those who possess the sensitivity discern that we vibrate at a higher and higher level.

Hence... global warming,

Hence....The Coming Ionization of Planet Earth!

1812-2005...WHY THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS WAS SO IMPORTANT!

2005-09-09T12:47:00.000-07:00

1812 -2005...
WHY THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS WAS SO IMPORTANT!

By CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com

***
In the year 1812 one of the most strategically underrated battles ever fought on the North American continent took place a few miles from New Orleans.

The unsung importance of this battle was such that had Andrew Jackson lost it, he most certainly would have never become President.

Further, had the Battle of New Orleans not been an American victory, the Imperial Whitehall government would have successfully placed a stranglehold on perhaps the most vital geographic choke point to be found anywhere in the world.

It is a matter of conjecture as to whether the British would have relinquished their prize despite the fact that the battle was fought "ex pax facto."

Today, a new "Battle of New Orleans" has produced a little noticed casualty.

Barely reported in comparison to the high profile flurry of "oil based" economic news over the impact of Katrina is the more ominous story of the loss of subsystem infrastructure.

The importance of this weave of subsystems is comparable to the importance of a cornerstone. Without it the building above it is no longer viable yet this key stone it is rarely noticed when in place and it is always taken for granted.

On July 4, 1863, Confederate general John Pemberton surrendered the bastion of Vicksburg to Major General Ulysses S. Grant. At that very moment, the Mississippi Valley passed into the hands of the North and the nation of the South passed into history.

It was for good reason that historians call the loss of Vicksburg the "death knell of the Confederacy."

General Grant and Mr. Lincoln were both well aware of the importance of the weave of economic subsystems that formed the spine of the Southern Nation.

What held true in 1812 and in 1863 is all the more true today.

Without the port of New Orleans, the produce and handicraft of the great American Midwest is placed in dire straits.

We call this upper Mississippi and Missouri basin the "heartland" of the nation. It is from this area that wealth is produced from the land and is exported to not only the rest of the nation but to the rest of the world.

Of course, substitute systems of transportation to market are available but none of them are as cheap or as efficient as river barge. This is particularly true when dealing with farm products and other high volume to low value items.

It remains to be seen as to whether or not the relatively unscathed port facilities of New Orleans can function efficiently without a supporting urban infrastructure to rest upon.

Cities are built to location. The location of New Orleans is a vital one. As a result, the city will be rebuilt. But such things take time. Nature waits for no one.

My sources report that many of the farms and industries along the lower Mississippi Valley are already reporting stress. Fall Harvest is now underway and there are few barges available for transport of produce.

Additionally, there is currently no place down river to economically offload the barges at the end of the line. Baton Rouge cannot absorb the full impact of the diverted traffic from the dysfunctional port of New Orleans.

The cost of gasoline for the combines is spelling the difference between solvency and insolvency for many of the smaller farms along the river. The dearth of barges for harvested produce may spell the difference between life and death for many other larger operations.

The point to be made here is that the true impact of Katrina and the loss of New Orleans may, at first blush, appear in the initial shock wave that blasts American consumers at the gas station.

However, the more telling impact upon hearth and home may be the fireball of an imploding subsystem infrastructure that follows hard on its heels.

Most fires are quenched with water. This type of fire however is usually fought with gallons and gallons of money.

Therefore, it may also be germane to ask just how much more paper money can Treasury inject into a system that is already mortgaged to the hilt and committed to papering over open ended foreign military expeditions?

CHOPPING HEADS OFF THE HYDRA ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY!

Greetings, Rolling Stones Fans!

In my little area of the world, we have a horrendous immigration problem.

We are overwhelmed with illegal Mexican immigrants.

Newspapers, billboards and other forms of media written and spoken in Spanish or with Spanish subtitles have become common in the last decade.

Naturally, feelings run high in this Pacific northwest community among the established population.

Residents see themselves being increasingly displaced by cheaper labor in the workplaces and alien social habits in the neighborhoods.

It has therefore become a popular pastime among locals to engage in vituperative "alien bashing" and other forms of vocal and physical hostility.

But, due to the nature of my business, I have worked closely for many years with of the "illegal aliens" being demonized so precipitously by the mainstream community.

I know the vast majority of them to be family oriented, hard working, thrifty, generous, and kind.

In truth, most of the virtues that we current residents of America are wont to imagine we embody are in fact, found to be much more readily apparent in the lives and manners of these foreigners.

But then, we always see the tree in front of us, don't we? That's because it is planted smack dab in the middle of our intended path!.......But, do we see the forest?

So, as has been the case too many times in the past, we prove ourselves ready and willing to grab the axe and chop away at the offending tree. Yet such efforts always appear futile in retrospect somehow, don't they?

Could it be that we are leaving the root intact to sprout up and block our path once again?

My friends, you and I, AND the hungry and hard working immigrant we excoriate are all the same victims of a cynical shell game!

We are two ends being played against the middle.

Suckers...All of us!

Who REALLY is to blame for the fact that Jane Doe down the street just lost her job to Juanita Gomez?

Here's a news flash folks:....IT AINT JUANITA GOMEZ!

Welcome to the Hall of Mirrors!

This same paradigm applies to the current modern political process as seen in the United States.

(In fact, a case can be made for such application back through all recorded history!)

Of course Shrubie the Bush and the Boys are up to no good!

What did you expect?

The damage to their hotel room will no doubt be charged to our account. With interest compounded!

But are they the root of all evil? No, not really!

They are just modular building components, dear readers,....And replaceable ones at that!

In fact, those that attribute diabolical design to the current phantoms in power would likely be surprised to discover that the villainous objects of their opprobrium are often as clueless as the rest of us!

So, again, Who REALLY is to blame for what we see actualizing before us as the fruits of the political game?

Sadly, the problem we now face is that the system itself is hopelessly corrupt.

Bush may be good or bad, (depending upon your perspective) but he's really no better nor worse than any of his predecessors...He's just more visible, (perhaps less smart) than some of the other past pawns placed in political power.

If you look back over time you can see that the Presidents come and go and the parties switch power every few years but the general dynamic of the direction of unfolding events continues to inexorably grind ahead with little or no true deviation.

This is a pattern that can be traced back 60 years with no trouble and even farther if one is willing to dig a bit.

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!

Because.....There are powers above the puppets that are working the strings. It is they who are calling the shots while we in the audience enjoy the fantasy presented by the wooden characters on stage who are convincingly manipulated to be as if they are acting of their own free will!

As seen from this side of the looking glass, the hall of mirrors seems to be mindbogglingly complicated at first blush.

Relax!....That complexity is also a deliberately promulgated chimera. It's part of the act!

Once the curtain of illusion is parted, the hologram of complexity falls away and all is revealed before us as being as simple as black and white or as day and night,

Will there be light or will there be darkness?

Will we be divided against ourselves or will we not?

In the end, it all boils down to a simple question of... Who will gain the harvest of humanity.... The forces of Good or the forces of Evil?

I personally prefer to read the opening verse of Genesis as a difinitive prognostication of humanity's future destiny:

(And God said) Let there be "LIGHT" !

HOW TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN GIVE YOU A SCALAR HEADACHE!

HOW TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING CAN GIVE YOU A SCALAR HEADACHE!

By CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com

(Begin snip by "Roaldar")

Some people are saying that High Tech Russian Weather
Warriors steered Katrina to its target: Twenty percent
of US Petroleum processing capability.

Maybe so, but why does the US not have the technology
to counter such activity? If, indeed it has the
capability, why was it not used in the battle?

-R ...(End snip)
***

Greetings, R:

If in fact, the Russians did steer Katrina to its target, (A possibility of which I am not completely convinced) such an undertaking would be accomplished via scalar methods.

It has been fairly well established that the Russians are, (and have been) substantially involved in Scalar as well as other more exotic forms and methods of mental and physical real-time mediums that contain implicit potential for warfare applications.

According to the sources that I have, the United States has no currently effective means of countering such technology due to a rather unfortunate mindset that even still permeates some levels of the power structure in Washington City.

As a result, American military planners have only belatedly recognized their vulnerability in this sphere and find themselves playing catch-up with a 20 year handicap.

The cause of this strategic faux pas is a most interesting one. It contains a legion of fascinating subset of lodes to be mined that are rich in the insightful ore of cultural and social science.

Reduced to a nutshell, what we may be seeing in this particular situation is one of those rare examples where the anti-mystic traditions of Western society that since the Enlightenment, have proved so conducive to some areas of social and scientific advancement have manifested themselves as a negative instead of a positive.

This is one of the historical potentialities in Western civilization possessed of a lifespan measured in millennia instead of centuries. It is one of the more important ones that emerged as a dominant reality under the auspices of the Church of Rome.

This came about for a variety of reasons, but in particular as a dynamic that found nurture and sustenance as a natural reaction against the more mystically oriented traditions of the East. The path of Chalcedonic Christianity formed of the matter of two worlds, was fated therefore to be separated into two different roads.

This split is known today as the Great Schism. It is dated as occurring in 1054 during the reign of Pope Leo IX.

(It is important to note that strong differences between the more mystic east and rationalist West had often occurred before 1054)

As a result of the Great Schism, the Eastern Orthodox nations were enabled to socially enfranchise a mysticism that was innately ingrained in ancient traditions.

This led to a much more accepting and tolerant attitude in the East towards all subjects related to this area. It is for this reason that to this very day, the public acceptance and acknowledgment of the Metaphysical realm and its varied spin-off areas of study are subjects of State sponsorship and research in the traditionally Orthodox nations of the great and lesser Russias.

Conversely, the metaphysical, mysticism, and the spiritual world in general has been progressively denigrated and reduced to ridicule and opprobrium the West.

This fertile field, sown by the seed of the Enlightenment, has enabled rationalist Science to become supreme in Western Nations.

But it has crippled research into all things tainted, (For what ever reason) with the brush of "mysticism."

Such fields of study would include all things paranormal as well as the intuitive science of Remote Viewing and the more physical science of Scalar Technology.

Such disciplines as "Remote Viewing" and "Scalar" science have therefore been ignored or seriously handicapped in the West. Progress in these areas has only come about as a response to undeniable advances being made in the more mystically oriented and therefore specifically tolerant east.

THINK NEO-

2005-08-19T15:22:00.000-07:00

Greetings, Poly and the Psy-fie's

And... welcome to the shell game:

So...

You think things are looking rather grim for the (so called) "Majesty of Constitutional Law" these days, do you?

Well, stick around a bit 'cuz You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Consider the fate of the "peace" Democrats of the North during Mr. Lincoln's war of aggression.

Following the election of "Honest Abe" Lincoln and the Republicans, the Democratic party was badly fractured.

The two most visible public factions were the "War" Democrats and the "Peace" Democrats.

The Peace Democrats soon became known as the "Copperheads."

The appellation was originally a slur cast against them by the Republicans but was accepted with pride by the Democratic Peace party who sported copper pennies on their lapels to show their opposition to what they considered to be the Constitutional illegality of the Lincoln administration and its therefore unlawful acts.

The most popular of the Copperheads was Democratic Congressman Clement L. Vallandigham, who in 1862 introduced a bill in Congress to imprison the President.

Vallandigham and his supporters held that Mr. Lincoln was guilty of unlawful acts and of subverting the Constitution, (true, IMO) and of high crimes and treason against the State and the People.

Instead, Vallandigham and a large number of other Democrats, including judges, newspaper editors, politicians, and antiwar activists, quickly found themselves arrested and imprisoned without trial on the orders of Lincoln and Secretary of War Stanton!

Habeas Corpus was unlawfully suspended making the potential for arrest to be dependant upon the whim of "Honest Abe."

Lost on the people of the time was the fact that this thereby proved the case for Congressman Vallangdigham, "ex post facto"!

When a righteous fear of the people and deferential respect for the Law of the Land is replaced with contempt for both, it naturally follows that one Imperial presidential transgression soon breeds another.

True to form, the Suspension of Habeas Corpus followed hard on the heels of the even more unlawful Executive Order #1 issued by Lincoln in order to facilitate the Sanctification of the first of many eventual stakes in the heart of the Republic yet to be planted by a rump Congress unable to even form a Constitutionally required quorum.

To turn a phrase, Lincoln and Stanton were a couple of true co-conspirators who had decided to drop any pretense of due process in dealing with persons they considered "guilty of any disloyal practice."

Basically, what that meant was...Anyone who disagreed with their intent to pursue a policy of aggressive war against the People of the South.

Not only did Lincoln and Stanton have the power to do so, but both were also quick to borrow a page from Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest who's formula for victory was to know the value of "getting there first'est with the most'est."

Both men were much more politically and socially savvy than their plodding Constitutionalist opponents.

Both men knew how to use that power to paint "those who would hold the Koran on their lances" into an indefensible corner.

And...in shades of deja vu.....These outrages were accepted passively by the buffaloed American people.

Naturally, this public quiescence only emboldened further criminal acts of the Executive branch who eclipsed all their former frauds by the outrageous boldfaced theft of the 1864 election from the very popular (with the enlisted men) General George B. McClellan, AKA "Little Mac"

This martial robbery was accomplished via the aegis of paid thugs and commissars posted to the field army and to all its polling booths to insure that the vote received was the vote paid for in Washington City.

Hence, Lincoln was enabled to continue his pet project based on the precedent of fraud and empowered by a presidency of dubious legality.

Does any of this sound familiar to contemporary observers?

THE COMING IONIZATION OF PLANET EARTH...CHAPTER ONE!

2005-08-11T00:11:00.000-07:00

I would like to share this with you now, dear readers, since I am beingdirected to communicate it to those I care about and those open to listen and/or become aware of the need to know.

My friends, it's very strange....how many months ago I had this two week window in August pegged as being an exceptionally dangerous time for us all....

And.... Usually I have pretty good sense of what it is that is coming.

But for some reason all I am sensing this time is a multiplicity of confusion, chaos, and uncertainty. A living house of mirrors.

Which mirror gives us the real reflection? I sense something is unfolding at this moment, but it remains annoyingly indistinct.
For the first time in a long time I can't pin point it. It is so nebulous as to make me question my own intuition....

And ... as an intuitive, that REALLY bothers me!

It's a feeling similar to being under a heavy blanket with not enough oxygen.... Any lack of certainty may be perhaps because, for some reason, or insome way, I am being blocked ... or it may be that the emergent event is apotentiality that is so massive or such a huge "trigger" for other events that I have yet been unable to subconsciously assimilate it in it's entirety, (i.e. The assassination of Duke Ferdinand of Austria) .... I don't know, butI can say that I don't like it! Not one bit!

To make matters worse, if we make it through this window and none ofthe vying potentialities actualize, then there is still a window inOctober and one in Dec.

The same fog covers those time periods as well. IMO, that's not a good sign. It looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride.
Therefore, it's time to talk to Prudence.... Prudence says: Itnever hurts to do the Boy Scout.....Prepare to hunker in the bunker!
And...in the meantime:

Keep an eye on the Sun.

Because....

The coming ionization of Planet Earth is proceeding apace. It's advance effects are causing the social world of humans to spin increasingly out of control.

Look for crazy and irrational behaviors to multiply and proliferate on national and international levels as individual and group-human emotions and behaviors are triggered to greater and greater levels of response.

Expect subconscious anticipatory energies to increasingly become sympathetic and attempt unsuccessfully to harmonize to the surfeit of ionized energy building everywhere in our solar system. Like a battery that is being overcharged we will soon enough see it manifest its imminent emergence in all matter and in all life forms on Planet Earth

I will be detailing this potentiality at length in a soon to be published article.

Oh yes!... I almost forgot to mention...An attempt to deflect the coming ionization of Planet earth is the primary mission of Chemtrails. That is why it is a global project...One that is allowed to trump national sovereignty over national airspace by most of the world's governments.

It is the Earth that is at risk.

THE MILITARY IMPORTANCE OF DENVER AS A STRATEGIC DEFENSIVE POSITION!

THE MILITARY IMPORTANCE OF DENVER
as a
STRATEGIC DEFENSIVE POSITION!
by CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com

Greetings, Armchair Generals and Brevet Couch Colonels! We often hear these days of strange goings-on in and around the city of Denver, Colorado. These alleged "goings-on" are often imputed to governmental actions that are often cloaked in mystery or semi-secrecy. One such "mystery" that has long lost it's shield of secrecy is the old NORAD base at Cheyenne Mountain.

Many years have passed since that operation became public knowledge. Since that time, an endless stream of rumors of similar massive operations continue to surface on what seems like a monthly basis. Why is that? What is it about "Denver" that would attract any government attention at all? Why was Cheyenne Mountain located in such a region? The answers are readily apparent from the classical point of view of a military strategist.....
Denver is THE ideal and central location from which to run the nation! In fact north of Mexico City, it is likely the best defensive location on the continent

Nature must have been reading her copy of Von Clausewitz on the day she created the spot where the city of Denver now lies.

The immediate area is blessed with practically every geographical feature that a military strategist could wish for.

Far removed from the uncertainties of ocean and sitting at five thousand feet or more elevation, the Denver region offers immunity from the threat of ocean inundation, (due to Earth changes) that is often lacking in many low lying areas.

The geology of the surrounding area is such that it runs a low risk of volcanic activity ever becoming a serious threat.

The super cauldera at Yellowstone is far to the Northwest. It lies over 350 miles to the northwest and is shielded by several high mountain ranges. Again, due to geography, the jet stream would rarely, if ever, carry any primary volcanic emission in the direction of Denver. From a practical viewpoint of a strategic military planner, Denver has a great deal to offer. There is no other more defendable city in the continental United States or in North America. Due to the unforgiving nature of the terrain, Denver can only be approached with great difficulty from the West. Similiar environmental trials await hostile forces wishing to approach from the Southwest.
Denver's location, hard against the spine of the Rockies gives it the advantage of an absolute commanding view of any approach from other directions. Therefore, the establishment of an effective defensive perimeter is greatly facilitated for any competent general.

Such a perimeter offers the premier advantage of commanding the high ground. It offers numerous geographical opportunities for fighting retreat and retrenchment. Internal lines of communication offer defenders the best imaginable conditions for defensive logistics and maneuvers.

In the theory of war, what is good for the goose is not especially good for the gander. Any offensive land forces wishing to approach the Denver region from the East will have no choice but to cross hundreds of miles of wide open terrain under the eyes and the guns of the city. As previously stated, Denver is nearly unapproachable from the West. Any large force wishing to do so must overcome a Hob's variety of obstacles; among which, are many hundreds of extreme and formidable miles of waterless, hostile and unforgiving terrain. Additionally, Wolf creek pass, directly behind Denver, is a narrow 10,000 feet high defile.

Emigrant gap remains the most accessible gateway through the Rockies from the West. It is the only flanking location that offers enough open terrain for bulk transfers of offensive armor and heavy equipment. But this pass too, is positioned so that geography forces a wide diversion to the North; one that must advance 300 miles into the teeth of a well defined and highly defendable field of fire.

It must be kept in mind that for most of the year, well over one thousand miles of any western approach to Denver is subject to cruel excesses of both great heat and/or killing cold.

There exists little vegetation and even less natural cover. There are virtually no sustainable local resources on hand for a large armed force to appropriate. An industrial base in this region is next to nonexistent. Main highway arteries are few and far between and long distance rail lines that span the distance number less than a half dozen.Imagine if you will the North Africa operations of World War II. The Great American Desert offers all the worst of North Africa without the leavening effect of the nearby ocean for logistics and reinforcement.

As a result of such an environment, supply must be constantly provided in any offensive external operation. The resultant opportunity for logistics interdiction by defensive counter-operations is surfeit.

Thus, the hostile western geography multiplies by a factor of ten the normal military maxim concerning the ten to one advantage that is the requisite relationship of offensive force needed to effectively dislodge a determined defense.
Combine Denver's stated geographical advantage with the apparent labyrinth of underground nuclear blast proof warrens found in the region and one is at least guaranteed above average odds of survival in a worst case "bunker" scenario. All of Denver's disadvantages for an attacking land force work in a reverse proportion for the defenders.

From the East; the first line of true defense for the city is at the Mississippi River. From behind that formidable barrier, retreating divisions are able to requisition any and all foodstuffs and military/industrial supplies. They are able to then destroy what may be left in order to deny it's beneficial use by offensive forces. This is the classic concept of "scorched earth" as used so effectively by the Russians during the invasion of Le Grand Armee' of Napoleon in 1812 and against the Germans during WWII. Also, not unlike the Russians during their strategic retreat before the Wehrmacht, it is possible to disassemble factories wholesale, taking armament and other production facilities with you as needs dictate. It is here where the vital logistical advantage of internal lines of defense; as opposed to the weakness of extended lines of offense; come into important play. It's importance can tip the balance. This was a lesson the German high command learned the hard way in the eastern offensives of 1942 and 1943. From a tactical point of view, the location of Denver, (and it's airport) offers excellent operational and logistical advantages. The Midwestern plains and prairies can be stripped of their bounty, and left unusable for those who would occupy it. The bulk of the rural population, (as was often done in antiquity) can and most likely will be, barred from the city gates and left to their fate. The rational for this is the need to reduce stress on supplies. Additionally, a great many of those citizens of the city itself may be thrown to the wolves. Case in point, during the siege of Alicea, in 52 BC, Vercingetorix turned all the inhabitants of the city out. The miserable refugees found themselves trapped in a no man's land between the city wall and Caesar's lines of entrenchment's. They soon starved to death, en masse!In summery, facility of operations from Denver are obvious and should be considered as a natural given; again, due to internal lines of command and a host of other advantages. Difficulty of operations will be the domain of any one wishing to approach the city. The extensive underground works at Denver International, are in fact, a corollary to the ancient citadels of another age. These exclusive insurance policies for the secretive elite were often as not, well-prepared redoubts. In them, the core oligarchic powers, the elect of the select commanders, and the select of the elect of the faithful, would gather in hopes of surviving any breach in the city walls

. Sometimes Fortune smiled upon them and other times she would turn her face. There was then, as is now, only one common and consistent truth. The common citizen, who's hard labor and who's confiscated monies have always been the materials with which these citadels are built, are invariably the first against whom the castle doors are barred. The more things change, the more they remain the same. -CliffMickelson

NASA KNOW-NOTHINGS KNOW TO K.O. COMET..NOTHING ELSE KNOWN!

2005-06-27T10:11:00.000-07:00

OK...Work with me on this one, will you NASA? I'm a bit slow, but if you don't use any words over three letters, I will eventually get the drift!

So, one more time, eh? Let me see if I can get this straight.

Am I to understand that, by your own admission, You guys at NASA don't really even know what in thunder a comet is made of for certain, is that right?

And although you tell us that you plan to slam an interplanetary artillery shell head-on into the core of comet Temple, again, by your own admission, you confess that you haven't got a clue as to what the density of the core of this particular comet is like, correct?

In your latest NASA press release you ask:...is the core spongy or is it solid? Well, gimme a break, will ya?…How the heck should I know if YOU don't know?

Plus, (And here's the good part!) You rocket scientists down there in Florida are making no bones about the fact that you haven't got the foggiest idea as to how much ejecta will be thrown off this comet when you put the whammy to it, right?

I am honored that you would bother to ask us plebs a further question.... "Will it be the size of a house or the size of a football field"?
But again I must point out that unless this is some kind of a game of 57 questions....Shucks, guys!..... I ain't gotta clue!

Now you tell us publicly that you don't know if the comet will disintegrate in a spectacular flash, short circuit with a whimper and not a bang, or, if the blasted (literally) thing will just belch a little, pause for a moment, and then move on?

I think your starting to lose me here, guys!

Let's take a break for a moment from what you guys down at NASA "DON"T know, OK?

How about what you DO know?.....Ah, yes! It's right here in today's newspaper, and yesterdays newspaper and the day before yesterday's newspaper.....It says right here in black and white:

EXTRA, EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT IT! NASA "KNOWS" SOMETHING!

And just WHAT could NASA possibly know, you ask?

Well, if Rupert Murdock is any guide, NASA is quick to assure "We the Sheeple" that they DO know that there is NO danger whatsoever of our post-impacted comet copping a New York Road Rage attitude and making a beeline for earth in order to do a Mama Grizzly bear on all the warm and fuzzy Cub scouts at NASA.....

"Not to Worry" Say the pulchritudinous pundits at Canaveral!

Well, here's a news flash for you, boys!

I'm worried!

Yup! I know its silly, but No matter how hard I try, I just cant seem to find any comfort in knowing that there is at least something that NASA knows!

Maybe it's because I watch too much of that new hit TV show "The Credibility Factor"?..or... uh..... is it "The Fear Factor" ?...or is it BOTH those factors? Heck, I don't know....

Say! .....I'll bet that both those names were probably arrived at independently around the same time and by pure coincidence too,.... just like the name "Deep Impact"!

Who ever it was that said lightning never strikes twice in the same spot has obviously never been to movies at Cape Kennedy!

But wait! THIS JUST IN.... There is ONE other thing that NASA knows!

And that is.......

"We get ONE chance," says Michael A'Hearn, a professor of astronomy at the University of Maryland and Deep Impact principal investigator!

Yea, sure, Michael!...You and all your NASA buddies will at least get one chance....Advance warning to head for high ground!
After all, you have the equipment that we taxpayers paid for that will tell you just how much of a chance you get in order to ...."git" ...if the "impossible" suddenly became "Possible."

But, Michael....

What I want to know is....How about the rest of us? Do we get a "chance" too?

You remember us, don't you ?...The "taxation without representation" folks?

Yup! That's us!......We're those annoyingly ungrateful schlepps who dare to bitch because we didn't get a vote on whether or not we wanted to play hackie sack with a rock the size of Manhattan!

But, silly me! I keep forgetting that you know we are absolutely safe!

And, How do I know? That's easy! Because you told me so!

So, In order to be a better person I here by promise that:I'll try to be less of an ingrate in the future and focus more on just how lucky we are to be the privileged passengers who get to take NASA's word that good old Terra is 100 percent risk free from irate asteroids and that our deep impact insurance premiums will not be canceled for undue cause!

Gee...all this is because the one thing that you apparently assure us you DO know, is the post-impact ballistics and projectory of this wannabe planetoid....Never mind the fact that what you DON'T know is if there will be just a couple of giant post-impact pieces or a million medium sized post-impact pieces!

Uh...Hey, Mike! ...By the way, not to change the subject or anything, but....How come I get this uneasy feeling that you NASA guys are all on the board of Directors for the Rand Corporation?

And...

It's a good thing I'm not paranoid, because now that I have said the unspeakable "Rand" word.....

There's just a tad bit too much Synchronicity going on around here for my liking..... Deep Impact?... July 4th? Independence Day? ... Fireworks? ...This whole thing is starting to give me the Bruce Willis...er, I mean the bad Willes!

What say we end on a positive note here, eh? Enough of this paranoid doom and gloom!

And that positive note is:........

Whew! I'm sure happy to hear that there is at least SOMETHING that NASA knows about this 300 million dollar project!

I suppose that a ratio of one "We know" out of a field of several dozen "We don't knows" should be good enough for Government work!

Hey, you know what?... This "positive note" concept is pretty heady stuff!

In fact, I'm feeling so positive and confident in what I now know that NASA knows, that at this point that I think I'll cash in my retirement and go buy some more US Treasury Bonds! .....NOT!

GOOD VS EVIL...WHY EVIL IS WEAK AND MUST ALWAYS BE ENABLED!

2005-06-24T01:42:00.000-07:00

GOOD VS EVIL....

WHY EVIL IS WEAK AND MUST ALWAYS BE ENABLED

There exists a common bond in the endless circle of all Earthly human experience. This force of 'overunity' is the metaphysically based struggle constantly taking place between the powers of Good and Evil, Light and dark, Creator and Anti-Creator....or what ever tag one wishes to assign them.

This is a contest that originates in the Metaphysical realm... a portion of our physical continuum that is generally inaccessible to most normal human means of sensory detection.

Nonetheless, it has been upon occasion, accessed, sensed, or deduced often enough by a large enough number of people of all cultures and creeds to conclude that it is an intergal and connected componant of our modular stair-step reality.

We call this mysterious region, "the Metaphysical" or the "Spirit world"......The life forces abiding there are not strangers to this world, but may, (for convienience) be visualized as being located vertically and just slightly above the lateral detection horizon of the five normal, horizontal human physical senses.

For reasons unknown to mere mortals, the forces of this "realm" appear to be much less inhibited by the same strictures that blind and impede human abilities to access their own transition to other levels of reality.

It would seem that there exists a contest between the energies inhabiting this region. It is a battle whose effects are continually played out in the daily physical plane that humanity experiences as that of our "day to day" three dimensional world.

And...

As the lamb is insensitive of the value of it's fleece in the markets of the remote and incomprehensible world of it's shepherd, so it is that it remains possible that the prize of value sought by the metaphysical world may be the harvest of that dimly sensed and intangible essence of self awareness contained within each individual human being.

This operational life 'force' is generated by the functionality of the human physical form. It is a bounty of fleece possessing a value of which it's possesors have little awareness, and even less understanding. It is this essence that which we vaguely describe as the spirit or "soul" of Man.

Set such a possibility against the historical human perceptions of the nature of the higher or more "divine" planes of existance and the possibility becomes viable that what our species has so poorly sensed through history, (but sensed, nonetheless) is that there exists at least one set of metaphysical forces who function in this world as "energy" vampires. To survive they must consume the energy of the spirit."

It is they who must eternally continue to corrupt the physical environment of the continuuem occupied by Humanity in order to stimulate the production of the peculiar type of energy generated by the mortal experiences of pain, fear, hate and/or death.

They then feed, recharge, (or sustain themselves) on the siphoned energy.

This process only works when the lamb remains ignorant of the value of it's fleece.

That highly charged human emotions and events generate an energy field of a peculiar nature is beyond debate. That the functions of such energies are often described as "feeding" is also an interesting use of semantic description found in all cultures. This may be a subconscious clue leading to causes that lie beyond more than just the meaning of the phrase at hand.

With the above in mind, it is important to remember that:

All that can be imagined is possible. The conceptions of imagination have no innate limit. Therefore, it must follow that all things are possible. What the power of unfettered human imagination can conceive can therefore be said to exist in some form at that point, in at least a conceptual universe.

Conversely, impossibility only exists as a benchmark expression of the level of human enlightenment or, to put it another way, as an indicator of the self-limiting definitions of any particular individual.

If the construct of the metaphysical energy parasite or vampire, is an accurate one, then the energy vampire's "need" is also their weakness.

It remains immutable that any vital need is commensurate to fatal weakness.

The first indication one may have of this is the pervasive historical portrayal of the two primary forces of the metaphysical.....The power of the "Light" can and often does remain "passive." "Darkness" or "Evil" must always be proactive in one form or another.

One may therefore deduct from the simple physics and logistics of military offense and defense that Evil is always inherently less powerful and more at risk (disadvantaged) than are the forces we call ... "Good."

Evil can only triumph and/or gain it's objective if it is enabled to do so by the successful employment of subterfuge, stealth, and subversion A direct frontal assault against defenses whose integrity has not be subjected to advance undermining would be a likely disaster. Further, the intrigues of Evil can only be enabled by the overt or unknowing quiescence of the human gatekeeper who contains the coveted "object, or energy" it seeks.

Hence the eternal inferiority of Evil vs. Good.

The ancient analogy of the flock of sheep, and the endless struggle between the wolf and the shepherd takes on new meaning when seen in this context.

We must now follow this construct down an end-logic path that takes us to the destination point where it is proven as irrefutably true that "Love" does (in fact) conquer all,..... that good is inherently stronger than evil, and that there is nothing to fear but fear itself.

Limited as we are within the horizontal parameters of this 3d plane, the true understanding of the vertical nature of the human connection to the metaphysical remains frustratingly speculative.

It is cloaked in the same invisibility that shielded the world of microbes and other "tiny beasties" before Antonie van Leeuwenhoek' microscope was popularized in the late Seventeenth Century.

Nonetheless, the world of microbes existed long before the microscope enabled it's discovery and exploration by human Science. The world of the metaphysical awaits a similar advance by Man. Then it too, like the pre-optic world of the "tiny beastie" may open it's currently opaque and closed doors to the world of Man.

Because we cannot yet define the Metaphysical realm where dwell the embodiment of Good and Evil, It remains a perception that is subject to the unshielded darts of faithless cynicism. This too shall someday pass. Until that time, it remains as subjectively removed from the current strictures of pragmatic scientific "proof" as is the world of the Metaphysical to which such proofs may someday apply.

Nonetheless, it provides a new/old construct that explains why we must return to the past in order to understand the future.

It would seem that the farther away from our house of origins we attempt to travel, the closer we find that we are to the home we thought we were leaving.

The experiences of human realties within it's sensed portion of the universe is truly a circle....

And for Good or for Evil.... One ring does in fact, bind them all, each to its own.

We alone are empowered to make that choice.

Thus, we achieve a theoretical key to unlock the identity as well as the seemingly incomprehensible mystery as to the "why" of both ancient and modern historical manipulations of humanity. Evil, as it befalls us, is the effect, not the cause. It is used like a woodworkers tool to shape the manipulations and subversions that divert and corrupt not only individuals, but also groups of people, leaders of nations, as well as nations and philosophies in their collective entirety.

We experience all such "otherworldly" forces as powerful yet subtle energies that we dimly recognize as the product of intrigues effected by powers that are beyond our general understanding or sensibilities. Yet, they are still vaguely felt by our 3d senses and become identifiable as ones that are called either "Good"....or.... "Evil."

The corruption evil seeks to engender is often difficult to identify on a personal or individual level. This is because it seeks to pave the road to hell with good intentions, (Using the Judas Goat to mislead the flock, as it were)

However, it's agenda becomes much more visible from an overview or by putting together disparate pieces of the ongoing picture. Thus we can avoid being blinded to the forest, by the appearance of trees.

After all, even Adolph Hitler truly loved little children!

One ring to bind them all.......And in the darkness keep them?

Greetings, Geese Guarding For Gauls!

How soon we, the tadpoles, forget that the frog is willingly boiled by slowly raising the temperature of the water.

And....

The "Story" of importance in the story enclosed below is not contained in the prima facia message formed by the words assembled to make it up.

The ruby red apple is not the poison, only its vessel.

Therefore, poison's presence, (and that of its merchant) will cleverly escape the notice of many folks who's pre-anticipated approval or disproval, wrath or disquiet, shock or indifference, may or may not be raised by the words that their eyes present before them.

The reaction is already in the script. It is the sound and the fury. It will strut about the stage in its moment of fame and then be led away to be of no consequence in the wings.

This is the slight of hand by which the clarity of the eye of the mind is deceived by the fog of words navigated by its two temporal progeny.

It's no accident. It is standard proceedure. It happens all the time.

And ... like the metastasis of a fatal disease, the poison remains secure from detection within the attraction of its vessel.

Few will do more than attempt to wash the fatal fruit before it is consumed.

Even Fewer will pause to wonder over the bitter mission contained in the seed of such a sweet summer fruit.

Suffice to say that herein one may gaze into the revelation of the common impending doom that awaits those who dine with the Cyclops.

Ruby red apples are on the menue for today, advertising the confidence displayed by the further daylight advance of the Nihilist, Humanist, Modernist Attack.

This "force" is often described by the catch-all phrase "NWO" its energies and powers appear to often reach beyond the physical world of humanity and into the universe of the metaphysical.

Yet, in fact, the genisis of their origination is the reverse.

This is the Story behind the Story herein. Consider it as you would your own epitath would that you were to witness it before your death, being written by the very hand that now further evolves a desperate confidence in its growing power.

This is the strategy. Having escaped prior detection....Now it is time to overtly seek and exploit the breeches already inflicted in the underpinnings of the fortress walls of Western philosophical morality.

And so....

In the pursuit of gaining the End of Time, have these creatures of the night, Trolls and Orks all, laboured long and hard in the bowels of the earth.

It is they who are before us investing our city. It is they who are charged to sap and undermine the pilings and foundations that buttress these formidable heights now serving as their master's only impediment.

Slowly yet inexorably, the siege lines continue to draw ever closer to the prize. Around the clock the trolls labor in the mines, chipping away, one piece at a time, at the earthen and stone ramparts that bar their master's progress into the city...The allegorical City of God, AKA the essence that IS the soul of man.

And now ... at high noon....The massive siege columns form, stretching endlessly back into the night.t

The shadows of darkness, having occluded the sun, no longer fear to emerge into the light.

Networks OK TV Condom Ads on Prime Time
If you don't want your kids watching condom commercials, stay away from the WB network after 9 p.m. tonight, and NBC after 10.
Story Continues Below

While airing condom commercials is not against the law, networks have so far been unwilling to permit ads for condoms because they fear a "backlash family-values advocates," reports the New York Post.
Condom ads that did run were relegated to late nights when children were assumed to be asleep.
Until now.
Church & Dwight, which makes Trojan condoms, has negotiated a new ad campaign with NBC and the WB, and said it is making a pitch to other networks for more ads.
With a market estimated to be $400 million nationwide, it's not difficult to see why condom makers covet the heretofore inaccesible prime time market.
"I expect there will be people who do feel a need to react negatively because we're discussing sexuality," Jim Daniels, vice president of marketing for Trojan told the Post. "I hope most people will see this and acknowledge that these are responsible and appropriate discussion points."
Radio listeners are familiar with "Trojan Man," the baritone-voiced hero who appears just as the canoodling starts to heat up, and supplies the lovers with Trojan condoms.
But the TV spots will differ from the humor-laced radio ads in that Trojan will try to emphasize responsible behavior - i.e. safe sex.
"This is not an easy thing to get right," Daniels told the Post. "You can start sounding like a health class or too sophomoric."
The ads will detail statistics regarding sexually transmitted diseases that won't necessarily put the viewer in a playful, amorous mood, and in a nod to those who may not take too kindly to sex out of wedlock, the commercials even mention giving abstinence a try.

JOE VIALLS GOES NUCLEAR ....AGAIN!

2005-06-03T09:40:00.000-07:00

http://www.vialls.com/subliminalsuggestion/tsunami.htmlhttp://www.vialls.com/subliminalsuggestion/tsunami2.htmlFor a complete list of his articleshttp://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/columnist.asp?ID=

Greetings, "Truth Seekers:"

Well, for the record, I am not going, "Thumbs up, or thumbs down" on this particular Vialls article because to do so credibly would require more research than I currently have time for.

However, if memory serves me correctly, I recall that there were several other earthquakes in the 8 + range within just a few months of the one that produced the tsunami.

I believe one of them was near the epicenter of the "Tsunami" quake, one near South Australia and one other "Great" Quake was near Antarctica.

I remember that there was much talk in the Internet media because 4 Great quakes occurring in such a short time frame was so highly unusual.

I did not see any mention of these quakes in Joe's article. Perhaps, since they failed to produce a genocidal Muslim killing wave, they were natural events and do not warrant Joe's attention.

Therefore I will content myself with noting that so far in the last several years, Joe has claimed that the Americans have exploded nearly half a dozen nuclear devices around the world, generally for the benefit of Israel.

This makes good press and builds a readership base, but is an excessive obsession with nuclear detonations on Joe's part that even I find hard to swallow.

In fact, although they may exist, I have yet to find an example of a high profile disaster, either natural or man made, (such as terrorist bombings) that Joe has not attributed to being the work of the American government.... Who, according to Joe, always jumps to pull the nuclear trigger each and every time Tel-Aviv says "Clear"!

Now all of you reading this know that I am no friend of the criminal forces behind the cabal currently running this nation into the ground. Neither am I prone to make excuses for them. However, I note a curious lack of balance in Joe's work.

Though not as hysterical in tone as is John Kaminski, Joe exhibits the a great deal of the same left wing self-loathing that is the universal common denominator of the guilt ridden, spoiled rotten, middle class Anglo Saxon, English speaking post-world war II generations.

To wit:

"We, (and all other's who share similiar culture or heritage) are bad, sinful, and unclean, and therefore everyone else is the noble and oppressed victim of our Way Bad sinfulness."

Sorry, I don't buy it.

The perpetration of this aforementioned lousy self-image complex is used almost exclusively as a psychological warfare tool by the more cynical propagandists of the far left in order to further their always oppressive agendas.

A People reduced and convinced to buying into and believing such guilt and mental self-degradation is a People already enslaved in all but fact.

If you look for it at all, you will start to see this guilt/shame technique being used everywhere.

It is the same technique used to discredit and silence those who would oppose the rewriting of American history in order to falsely shame, dilute, or minimize the affirmation and validation of the particular cultural heritage and virtues that built the nation.

Case in point, the renaming of the Jefferson Davis Highway, here in Washington State, or the phony hullabaloo over the Confederate battle flag, or the excessive and pathetic hand wringing over how the white man killed the Indians.

It is seldom mentioned that the Indians were doing an excellent job of killing each other on their own prior to Columbus, and after the white man arrived, it was usually Indian scouts that led the White war parties through the wilderness.

Most of the Army of Cortez was made up of Indian Auxiliaries who were more than eager to take a crack at the Aztecs.

General Crook would never have been able to track down the Mescalero Apaches without the aid of Indian scouts.

It happened. Get over it.

Again, I have yet to see an article from Joe that pins a tail on anyone besides the Israelis and the Americans, (and in decending order from there upon any English speaking nation) for any and all acts of diabolical murder and mayhem that may or may not occur.

At this point, it seems that everyone gets to go to heaven except the formerly named objects of Joe's attention. I am relieved to know as a result, that there is no sin of consequence, now or in the past, that stains the hands of Moscow, Beijing, or for that matter, any other person, place, or thing in the world, including the Sudan and Zimbabwe as well as half a dozen other murderous regimes in Africa and south Asia.

Only the running dog Americans and the infernal Zionists,..... living in Israel, a nation whose population numbers less that 6.5 million, and of whom over 14 percent are Muslims, All of whom live in a country that you can see across on a clear day;.... A postage stamp entity, surrounded by a region that takes up nearly a seventh of the land mass of the world and contains nearly a billion Muslims, of which more that 200 million are Semitic (kin) Arabs, ......are proven adept at being the root of all evil.

The argument over Zionism and it's finger on the American Nuclear trigger to the side, I submit for Joe's consideration, that if in fact, the Bible codes are correct, then it can be argued that the Jews truly ARE The Chosen People, charged many thousands of years ago with carrying forward to the rest of humanity, the coded message of a God like entity, then..... it follows that the historically endless tragedies, slaughters, Diaspora's, genocide's, and constant attacks upon them with the purpose of destroying them as a people since time immemorial, must be the work of ......Who do you suppose? As Joe says in his article, "We must ask...Who would benefit"?...

So, Joe.....Any Guesses?

WHY THE NWO IS GREATER THAN THE SUM OF ITS PARTS!

2005-06-02T02:59:00.000-07:00

Greetings, Hunters Hunted by the Hunted:

We have heard some of the names many times. Other new names just seem to pop up out of no where like weeds in the garden.

The Bilderbergs, The FreeMasons, The Council on Foreign Relations, The Rothschilds, The Rockefellers, etc, etc.

On and on it goes. It's enough to make a person throw up their hands and go running for the Aspirin bottle... So many groups, and each of them with their own dedicated investigators bent on exposing them.

And.... Each investigator ready and willing to swear that it is their group and their group alone that is the root of all evil in the 3d world.

Like blind men describing an elephant, each of these detectives sincerely believes they have a grasp on the true essence of the NWO incarnate. And like the same blind men, they are both wrong and right.

You see...

This is a BIG elephant!

What each of the blind men hold in their hands is but a part of the greater whole. Each holds pieces of the five pointed star that, when assembled, completes the picture that serves the darkness and is... the Global Elite.

It is important to remember when discussing the concept of the Global Elite and/or the physical, or earthly manifestations of the Modern Attack, AKA the New World Order, that these are labels that describe a multiplicity of hosts, all of whom function at a multiplicity of levels.

No army, good or evil, is made up of just one corps, or one division or one brigade. So it is with the Global Elite.

The term describes a fellowship of evil that is like a star made up of five, (plus) points... And in further analogy, a broken point only serves to generates a new starfish.

This multiplicity of form translates as an ability that tends to mislead many well meaning folks, who, for what ever reason, limit their focus exclusively on one point of the star, to the exclusion of the others.

Again, the blind men describing the elephant!

Unfortunately, the current lack of composite explanatory overview on this subject tends to confuse and deflect the interest of those who are newcomers or are not yet fully aquatinted with the issue.

It gives out the general appearance that no coherent analysis exists to explain why it is that at any given moment there are half a dozen potential organizations, all of whom are being labeled by as many or more opposition groups as being NWO.

Naturally this hurts the credibility of those who do indeed have a piece of the elephant!

And....

It often gives the impression that the entire subject is one for the nut house.

It is not. It is deadly serious. The Laity confusion is a deliberate manufacture designed to do exactly what it does. Throw the hounds off the scent by leaving tracks in all directions.

However, bear in mind that the tracks all exist past this plane and exit into the dark side of the metaphysical.

This is the key to understanding the function of forces that operate from a base of reference that originates from outside of the physical plane in which most human senses are oriented. I repeat, this is the key.

And most importantly.... A careful examination of the evidentiary prints of the quarry will further ominously reveal that the tracks do not point away from those who hunt them, but instead point towards them.... Hence, form that was phantom, is now presently form, extant ... as something wicked has already this way come!

To further compound the fog that is manipulated to swirl in around and obscure the clear understanding of the calamity that oppresses humanity these so many eons, the hounds that the hunters sent forth to the chase soon enough, no longer bay, and often as not, those that return to us are invariably the hounds of hell.

ULYSSES S. GRANT...THE MAKING OF A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH!

2005-05-23T12:33:00.000-07:00

Greetings, Nattering Nabobs of Negativity!

I don't want to be the first to bum your trip. However, perhaps the following story can put that old bounce back in your step?

In our often "less than positive" modern age, it sometimes pays us to seek a little bit of inspiration in the lives of yesterday.

And...I have a hot one for you!.....It can truly be said of Ulysses S. Grant that:
"Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to."

The life story of Ulysses S. Grant, the first American four-star general and the 18th President of the United States, serves his country to this very day as an inspiration to all Americans.

His story reminds us that the most humble of origins are no bar to greatness.

Ulysses S. Grant was born in the frontier State of Ohio in 1822. His Father was a leather tanner and times in the leather business were hard. The family struggled constantly to make ends meet. Grant's parents were determined to see that their quiet and somewhat shy child received the opportunities necessary to live a better life than that of a tanner. As a result, (And mostly against his will) young Ulysses was sent to the famous American military academy at West Point.

Grant's scholastic performance as a future Army officer was less than spectacular but sufficiently strong enough that America's future four-star General graduated in the middle of his class.

While in attendance at West Point as a young cadet, Ulysses would meet many of the future great names in American history. Grant's personal presence was so uninspiring that few of his more flamboyant and outgoing classmates would remember him from those days.

Shortly after graduation from "The Point" the three way border dispute between the United States, Mexico, and the new State of Texas, escalated into a full scale war.

As a recently commissioned First Lieutenant, Grant found immediate employment in the American march to Mexico City under the already famous Zachary Taylor and then under the legandary American hero who's fame he would someday exceed, General Winfield Scott.

While serving in Mexico, Grant was afforded the opportunity to meet a young captain of Engineers named Robert E. Lee. Many years later, at the famous surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia to the Army of the Potomac at Appomatox Court house, Grant reminded Lee of their original encounter. True to form, the young lieutenant Grant had failed to impress the much more polished Captain Lee.

The South's equally famous champion was forced to confess that he did not recall the meeting!

Following his service in Mexico and Texas, Grant found himself posted to California. Homesick and desperately missing his new wife, Grant resigned his commission and returned home to Galina, Ohio.

It is interesting to note that his letter of resignation was accepted without comment by the future President of the Confederacy, the then US Secretary of War, Jefferson Davis.

After unsuccessfully trying his hand at a variety of professions, Ulysses hired on under his brothers who now ran their father's leather business.

He spent a short but peaceful time with his loved ones while working once again in the family leather shop.

It was at this point in Grant's life that external events conspired to turn a lump of coal into a diamond.

In 1861, the War between the States began at Ft. Sumpter, South Carolina.

In the fever of the moment, there was no shortage of enthusiastic recruits in frontier towns like Galina, Ohio. However, there was a definite shortage of officers who could train and instill the needed military disciple in the raw and uncouth volunteers. Being a graduate of West Point, Ulysses Grant was soon asked to take charge of the local militia.

Upon first laying eyes upon his new charges, Grant was heard to compare them unfavorably to a band of brigands and thieves!

But service in Mexico had stood Ulysses well.

He quickly and without hesitation proceeded to lay down the Gospel according to Grant. In short order he had whipped the nondescript local levy into an outstanding force of fighting men. This success did not go unnoticed. The Northern armies had sustained an unbroken chain of disasters and defeats in the early days of the war and the successes of Grant's men in their encounters with Confederate irregulars were welcome news. The former West Point lieutenant soon found himself a Brigadier General of Volunteers!

With the increase in resources and responsibilities of his new command, Grant felt that the time had come to capture the vital waterways and strategic choke-points of the Mississippi Valley.

In February 1862 he attacked and overwhelmed Fort Henry. Immediately afterwards he attacked Fort Donelson. The Confederate commander, realizing his predicament, soon asked for terms of surrender. Grant replied; “No terms except an unconditional and immediate surrender can be accepted.”

This exchange was quickly noted in the newspapers of the North. U.S. "Unconditional Surrender" Grant was the new instant hero of the West!

Following the Confederate surrender of fort Donelson President Lincoln Promoted Grant to Major General of Volunteers.

Shortly after his latest promotion, Grant encountered the armies of the South at a little church called "Shiloh." Shiloh was one of the bloodiest battles in American history. It was also a battle that provided neither side with a clear cut victory. The horrific loss of life shocked many in the Northern government and some went as far as to urge President Lincoln to remove Grant from Command.

"I cannot spare this man" said Lincoln. "He fights"!

As if to make up for his folly at Shiloh, Grant executed his next campaign with precision and skill. His forces captured Vicksburg and then broke the Confederates hold on Chattanooga.

The capture of Vicksburg was very important because it effectively cut the confederation of Southern States in half. As a result of Grant's successful efforts in the Mississippi Valley, Lincoln appointed him General-in-Chief.

At this point, the important military action in the war shifted to the East along with the relocated General Grant.

In a series of relentless campaigns Grant utilized the huge Union advantage in men and supplies made available to him by proceeding to dominate and overwhelm via brute force, the meager and shrinking resources of men and material available to the rural Southern States. Union reverses such as the one suffered at Fredricksburg did little to slow the inexaustable Northern industrial monolith under the command of Grant.

It was truly the first modern war and one that Grant correctly realized would eventually be determined by logistics and industrial production.

The end of the struggle for self determination came in 1865. Grant overwhelmed Petersburg and entered Richmond. Wheeling to the west, he sent General Sheridan's cavalry to the south and west in a rapid bid to prevent Lee from linking up with the retreating armies of Joe Johnston. The gambit was successful. But just barely. Grant cornered General Lee and the exhausted and starving Army of Northern Virginia only a scant few miles from safty.

The surrender of the Southern Nation came at a small country courthouse named Appomatox.

Implacable in War, Ulysses was generous in peace. Grant wrote the surrender in such a way as to spare his friend from West Point of being accused of treason. He ordered his men to present arms as a salute to the gallantry of the defeated Confederates and he instructed his quartermaster to issue the hungry men sufficient clothes and rations to see them home. He also took the unusual step of allowing the defeated men to keep their horses. "It is Springtime" Grant remarked. "They will be needed for plowing."

Grant was now a hero and idol among the northern States. Before long it became apparent to the backroom power brokers that he was the obvious choice for the Presidential nomination.

The election vote was a landslide for the beloved "Unconditional Surrender" Grant!

Ulysses Grant, former Country boy and leather worker from the frontier country of Ohio became the 18th President of the United States in 1868.

Grant presided over the White House in much the same way as he had his army. Above all, Ulysses was a man of personal integrity and honesty. However, the same could not be said of members of his cabinet. In the reelection campaign of 1872 Grant was viciously attacked by liberal Republicans. As a result of the unfairness of these attacks, the General's friends in the Republican Party took up the name "Old Guard" and bore it with much pride.

President Grants terms of office were generally remarkable for the lack of important events that occurred when compared to the prior decade of war.

The only real excitement of note was caused by Jay Gould and James Fisk. These two financial manipulators hatched a plan to corner the market on gold. They nearly succeeded and their success would have done great damage to the financial markets and the country as a whole. However Grant caught wind of their plans and took the necessary measures to stop them.

Life after the Presidency was a long downhill slide for Grant. He became a partner in a doomed financial firm and soon after the firm went bankrupt, he discovered that he had cancer of the throat.

Financially bankrupt and knowing that the end was near, Ulysses began writing his memoirs to pay off his debts and to ensure future support for his family. The Recollections of U.S. Grant became an instant best seller. The book quickly earned nearly half a million dollars!

But ironically Grant was never to know that his final personal venture in life was a success.

Death claimed the Leather worker from Galina, Ohio in 1885. The ink was still wet on the last page of his memoirs when he passed away.

In many ways, U.S. Grant lived the archetype American life of the 19th Century. He had lived a full measure and had accomplished the stuff of dreams.

The life of Ulysses S. Grant is proof to all Americans living in this highly negative modern age that:

"Some succeed because they are destined to, but most succeed because they are determined to."

THE MODERN ATTACK...THE BITTER YIELD OF THE FIELDS OF EVIL!

2005-05-21T06:39:00.000-07:00

"The Modern Attack is in its main character, materialist, and atheist, and, being atheist, it is necessarily indifferent to truth. For God is truth."

"The better dupes, the less vicious converts to the enemy, talk vaguely of "a readjustment, a new world order" but they do not define the end that they have in view."

-Hillarie Belloc ... The Great Heresies, 1938 A.D.

***

Greetings Once and Future Beasts of Burdon:

The Modern Attack? I never heard of it!..... What is "the Modern Attack??

Well, perhaps another acronym for the "Modern Attack" will help bring things into focus....Does this ring a bell?

The New World Order?

So...What IS the "So called NWO, or as I prefer to call it...The Modern Attack?

First and formost, the modern attack is often called a "return to Paganism"

But that description is its own poison.

"For, there exists more than one paganism. There was the noble, civilized Paganism, (Out of which we all came) of Greece and Rome. There was the barbaric Paganism of the fringe and savage European tribes, German, Slavonic etc. There is the degraded Paganism of Africa, and the alien Paganism of despair that is found in Asia."

But none of these are comparable to the "vicious" and dehumanizing, anti-reason based Paganism of the Modern Humanist Attack.

It is a cancer of our own making and one that, like the viper in the basket of figs, we have too long, fatally clutched to our collective breasts.

Being Atheist, modern Paganism repudiates human reason....And...It thrives on the contradictions implicit in its own terms. For, if one were to deny the value of human reason, that is to say, that we cannot through our reason arrive at any truth, then not even the affirmation so said can be true, and nothing is therefore worth saying!

But above all, the modern humanist Paganism is indifferent to self-contradiction. In fact, it THRIVES upon it! Like the aforementioned cancer, it perverts the values of employable contradiction and feasts upon its entrails.

There has come down to us from the Greeks, and preserved for us in our universal Catholic heritage, a certain indissoluble Trinity of Truth, Beauty, and Goodness.

You cannot deny or attack one of these three without at the same time denying or attacking both the others.

Therefore, the hallmark of the advance of this mortal enemy of all that exists of our heritage is the watermark not only of a contempt for beauty, but a hatred of it, and immediately upon the heels of this, there appears a contempt and hatred for virtue!

The new Paganism is a return to slavery. It is the necessary result of denying free will when that denial goes one step beyond Calvin and denies responsibility to God as well as denies the lack of power in man.

The two-forms of slavery which are gradually appearing and will as time goes on be more and more matured under the effect of the modern attack are:

Slavery to the State and Slavery to private corporations and individuals. Here we see an advancing form of highly refined feudal servitude. A slavery based on the degradation and perversion of all the higher virtues of the heritage of western Man.

Above all, the definition of the bondage of the modern attack is its total indifference to human suffering and its deliberate indulgence in cruelty.

Lest the clamor arise that cruelty has always been a companion of man, I say that there is an intrinsic difference between cruelty as the exception and cruelty as the rule.

In the modern form of cruelty, (read, evil) men are not shocked by cruelty but instead, are indifferent to it! It is a cruelty accompanied by a contempt of justice, and a degradation and obviation of the capacity for human reason.

In the world of the Modern Humanist Attack, there will be no horror of cruelty, no universal cry of indignation, no noteworthy protests. This is because there is no longer in force the conception that man as man is something sacred.

That same force which ignores human dignity also ignores, and even feasts upon human suffering!

So it is that our children are the harvest from the seeds we have sown.... And so it is that we and those before us have brought forth to market a bitter fruit. This is the yield from the fields of evil.

ON THE ABUSE OF THE WORD "DEMOCRACY"

ON THE ABUSE OF THE WORD "DEMOCRACY"

It appears that there is no word more sadly abused or misused in the modern American lexicon than the word, "Democracy."At some point, we have all been a guilty of aiding and abetting in this serious corruption. Although this may at first appear a trivial concern, any perversion of a conceptual word is never a minor issue. Words are the vehicle that define both an individual's and a society's life's experiences. (AKA) -- the perception of our collective past, present, and future reality(s).In theory, we Americans live in a constitutional Republic. We do not live in a Democracy. A quick glance thorough history is all one needs to be convinced that a "Democracy" is undoubtedly the worst form of government available. I cite as examples, the hollow hubris of Athens under the demagogue Cleon, a ruinous tyrant who rode the mob to power during the Pelopenesean War. The French Revolution during the period of Robespierre, the Mountain, and the Jacobins also comes chillingly to mind. Other examples abound. In more modern times, a host of nations have claimed the moniker of "Democratic."The majority of them have been rather unpleasant places to offer a contrary opinion. The inflated abuse of the word "Democracy" has gained great currency in recent years. This pernicious trend has debased the value of the concept of "Republic."The same creeping verbal sedition has meanwhile elevated to commonly misunderstood acceptance and divinity, a political concept that is in actuality, the antithesis of that which our founding fathers bestowed upon us. Among the legion of imperfect political creations of man, Constitutional Republican institutions are the most egalitarian in practice. They are found wherever and whenever a people or a culture exhibit a prerequisite vitality, virtue, and valor. Yet, being a creature of man, a Republic is a frail vehicle. A healthy Republic, (according to Machievelli) must be periodically renewed in order to maintain it's original vitality. This "renewal" is however quite attainable. Examples of "Republican renewal" abound in both ancient and more modern times.A Democracy, (por el otro mano) is ALWAYS transitive, tyrannical, and prone to degenerate from inception. It lends itself readily to usurpation and terror. Any society that comes to believe that it is a "democratic" one, usually has a Napoleon, a Julius Caesar, or a Stalin, waiting for it in the wings. This is a matter of grave and relevant concern. The power of words are employed to sow the seeds of a society's future. That power is intrinsically neutral. It can be used for good or for ill. It is well, therefore, to remember that weeds grow more readily than do harvestable crops.The power of words both enlighten us and deceive us. Within these spoken sentinels of self awareness we are ceaselessly incarnated as faithful lover and feckless cuckold.Words enable a profound vision or facilitate a shallow illusion. Words distort or clarify how others see us. They determine how we see ourselves.These otherwise meaningless bits of sounds have the power to create a new world or to destroy our old. Words define who we are, what we are, and when (in time) we are. But foremost among the Promethian power of words (and the concepts they convey) is the awesome ability to actualize a selective reality from among the host of innumerable future potentialities. These alternate futures are the eminent domain of words. It is in this keenly opaque dimension that words forge our once and future destiny.From the fertile clay of this linguistically impregnated universe, the soul's spoken ambassador will birth our posterity. For it is also here, within this limitless galaxy of conceptions, that like a mist driven wraith, endlessly plausible worlds eternally form and fade upon the dim horizon of a thousand possible tomorrow's. ---" and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands" -- -Cliff Mickelson

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION: A NIGHTMARE WRAPPED IN GOOD INTENTIONS?

by: Cliff Mickelson & CJ Mickelson----

Good intentions......Or were they so good? Upon reflection it becomes difficult to prioritize the host of opaque and patient evils spawned by Affirmative Action. The fearsome Hydra that is the humanist "Modern Attack" on the foundations of this nation (and on Greco-Roman Civilization in general) has birthed it's own likeness in this concept. It is a matter of course that the defining hallmark of Affirmative Action is it's conceptual nobility. This sibling trait it shares in common with a host of other "noble" social cancers. In theory it is but one modest opus in a sisterhood symphony of Siren song, ----but in practice, it is Medusa incarnate, an insidious monster. Executive Order 11246 created by President Lyndon Johnson in 1965 first coined the Phrase "Affirmative Action." The original order required all government contractors to ensure that applicants for employment were screened "fairly" and that employees were treated equally during employment tenure without regard to their creed, color or national origin.Later Johnson specifically expanded his order to include women.The initial concept of Affirmative Action however, soon began to metastasize. In the pseudo-socialist "feel good" world of the late sixties it found immediate favor with any and all political scoundrels in search of a refuge. It was therefore quickly adopted, canonized and added on to by the US Senate. Naturally, those eunuch political districts that we Americans still insist on calling States, were eager to be among the select correct elect. They too, codified and enshrined the great wooden horse within their walls. All too soon, though at first discreetly, this "Greek Gift" began to extract it's effect. Meanwhile, lost in a riot of righteous blindness, the inseminated nation began gestation of a completely new moral and spiritual social disorder Let us briefly examine just one of this Hydra whelps many heads:Affirmative action, despite claims to the contrary, is a vehicle of discrimination.It creates in a host of ways, that which it claims to seek to avoid. One such path leading to this invidious result is traversed by establishing an intangible fear in the mind of an employer that incapacitates judgment. The ability to make an enlightened selection when faced with choosing between candidates gifted with equal qualification but generated from different ethnic groups is neutralized. The hapless employer realizes that he is open to a multiplicity of discrimination charges based on creed, color or national origin (aka skin color) if he should choose the candidate in the situation described above who is a member of the majority or of the same ethnic group as he. In this context, an additional more subtle evil is created that attacks the concept of the rights of an individual to make an informed choice in an issue that effects his own (economic) well being and/or his right to pursue the American dream of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Instead, these rights are now usurped by the cynical politics of socially correct intimidation. In the end, in an attempt to eliminate a discriminatory social situation, we find that two new ones have been created, both of which are more subtle and much more pernicious in nature than that from which they were spawned. So, -- as it is with the "Modern Attack," --so it is with it's horrid spawn:--That from one head sprang forth two. -And from two, came forth four.

BANKRUPTCY? NO CREDIT? NO FUTURE?...NO WORRY!...JOIN THE ARMY!

Bankrupt Congress Passes Bankruptcy "Reform"

http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/ap/20050414/ap_on_go_co/bankruptcy_15

Greetings From My Bunker on Skid Road!

Money.....

Money is a curious thing, isn't it? For most of our lives we spend it and earn it with little thought as to the true nature of what money really is.

When we have a surplus of money, we are often quick to employ it to ruin our health and shorten our lives. But, even worse, when we suffer from a lack of money, we are often prone to consider our good health and long life to be more of a curse than a blessing.

Such ... is the paradox of Money?

Hold on a minute!

This "thing" we call money?....It's really just pieces of ink stained paper or lumps of cold lifeless metal, isn't it?

So, what's the big deal?
How can intrinsically inert and powerless objects exert such influence and power over sentient and allegedly rational, living beings?

Ah, yes!....Such is the paradox of the Human condition!

And.... My dear readers, things go downhill fast from this point!

You see, money is simply a storehouse for "value of obligations receivable."

Like irrigation water stored behind a dam and reserved for summer's drought, money is a liquid reservoir of accrued power of other's obligations that we all draw upon to sustain ourselves as we pass through the parched desert of life's 3 d world.

It stands to reason therefore, that to owe an obligation is in fact, a promise to perform at some time in the future.

Further, that promise, (by its very nature) must entail the subordination (by the grantee to the grantor) of a portion of the personal power over one's own destiny.
To be the possessor of that same obligation then, is to hold or gain that power being mortgaged.

Logic then dictates that the more "obligations," or "liquidity" one amasses, (as opposed those incurred or credited) the more "power" that person or group then has to affect not only the "terra-forming" of their own path in life, but also the road of choice to be taken by those indentured to them through their obligations.

The downward spiral of the human condition, into Dante's financial Inferno, now truly picks up speed!

Moving beyond the power of money to provide us with our basic human needs, the power of money then becomes an enabler of human desires.

Ah...but here the wicket REALLY gets sticky!
Excess money tends not only to enable desire, but in the end, simply becomes an enabler of excess!

. ....And Human nature being what it is....The power of money is often abused on the individual as well as the collective level to further the extension of a myopic and self-centered, agenda by its possessors.

This agenda is usually that in which the general welfare of the rest of the world is of no consequence and one whose aim is to impose the will and selfish interests of those who posses more money, over the will and interests of those who have less money.

My wallet is bigger than your wallet, so.....You lose!

This is the path we walk as we approach Dante's main entrance.

Over the Inferno's gate, emblazoned in 24 carat gold relief, are the words:

"God may have created all men equal, but money makes some men more equal than others."

This truth would be unfortunate enough were it limited to the dynamics of social equality. Sadly, such is not the case. The power of money, can and regularly does, reach beyond the physical world to taint the spirit as well.

To anyone with enough money it soon becomes apparent how easy it is to appropriate things, (both physical and spiritual) that belong to other people.

Money can buy, not only the neighbor's house, but also the virtue of that neighbor's husband or wife.

It's influence can buy not only the Court bench, but also the integrity of judges and other officers of the court who sit upon it ... and ... best of all... the power of money can buy you not only a seat in Congress, but also the purloined loyalty of those other lawmakers who's seat you declined to purchase!

Welcome to the Inferno!

If it is true that money is the root of all evil, then it stands to reason that the applied "effects" of the power of money will usually tend to be less than admirable.

This "applied effect" is a polite word for "Corruption."

Need proof?

Just take a trip to Washington, DC!

There, each and every day you can marvel at the ease with which money buys things that belong to other people.

Washington City is a full service Flea Market open to all bidders. In this market the only fences are the ones behind the counter.

It's a place where all things physical and spiritual, vegetable or mineral, can be obtained by the power of money. This is the place where not only the physical letter, but also the spirit of the Law, is always for sale.

Every two years, we elect a number of our fellow citizens from out of our local and regional areas. These elected citizens then become known as our "Representatives."

"Our" Representatives are then presumed to meet, or to "Congress" in a distant place called Washington DC

It is in that distant place that they are honorably charged to carry out the mandate we have given them to "represent" us, and to further extend and guard our interests and our collective welfare.

This mandate is a contract. It is an agreement among two principles that is re-established every two years between the elected and the electors.

But a funny thing happens to the select elect on their way to "Congress."

Their physical form arrives safe and sound, but the moral mandate they were charged with never seems to long survive the journey.

My guess as to how this mysterious fatality occurs is as follows:

If there is "honor" to be found among thieves, it is because honor has been stolen from its rightful owners!

Enter, the power of money.

The pathetic congressional charade known as The Bankruptcy "Reform" act is our latest case in point.

In view of what we know about money, are we surprised that Congress would be the agent to pass this so called "bankruptcy" bill?

Such legislation being passed by the people's representatives is living proof that money is the leash that walks the dog.

The current Bankruptcy "Reform" bill is a draconian and unconstitutional piece of legislation that has been sleazing around in the back rooms of Congress for some time now.

Should we assume perhaps that it is accidental that less than half a dozen years ago, the credit/banking industry just happened to write up the draft for this bill and then spent millions of dollars on high pressure lobbyists, (And Lord knows what else) to promote it?

Or is it simply that, (like the Tobacco industry) they have always been fully 100% aware of what will be the toxic long term social effects produced by an overdose of the poisonous drug they cynically push on "We the sheeple" from both cradle to grave.

Would it be unkind to suppose that way back then, they knew full well that the credit-drunk party go'ers had the keys to the car and were about to drive home?

You would think so, eh? After all, they are the bartenders at the party.

And....as with illegal drugs, they knowingly serve up a substance with the power to destroy the vitality of the nation.

What is the responsibility of the pusher of a dangerous drug or other substance who knowingly overdoses the unsuspecting and hooked junkie?

Do you think that is an unfair question? I don't.

First dose is free! Come and get it!... College Freshman? Graduating from High School? No problem!....Here, kid! Have a credit card!

Maxed out?... Don't worry, we can always raise your limit!

125 percent to value? Not a problem.

Oh, and by the way, kid....pay no attention to that fine print ... it's just a formality that says simply because you allowed yourself to get hooked on something that we have told you to believe you can't kick, (try getting a good job without a credit report).....and did so at a time when the economy is really (and finally) slated to go to hell, is a truly unfortunate turn of events, but.....Surprise!....Job or no job, it's now subject to zero tolerance and is absolutely no reason to default or be late with your subsequent obligations to the pusher.

PS: Just in case you were considering leaving the country.....Don't!

The new Bankruptcy act has foreign extradition provisos for those with bills who cross the border before being tattooed "paid in full"!

So....
Screw up, kid, and we will own your soul! (at least that's the end-plan)! Now...here's another credit card. Go spend some money!

Meanwhile, back at the bunker, let us now pause to consider what happens to a nation when its people become economic chattel?

The new feudalism of credit/debt has replaced the former ball and chain of debtor's prison with an even more efficient bondage of plastic and paper.

In the last days of the Roman Republic, when the oppression of special interest capital had finally destroyed the economic and moral vitality of the Roman people, the dispossessed and debt ridden plebs were wont to say that:

"Rome owned the world but the Roman people owned only the earth that stained their clothes."

History teaches many valuable lessons. It is interesting to note that the fatal decline of most great Republics; the decay of the personal freedoms and values of their citizenry; and the reduction to inefficiency and mediocrity of their formerly great institutions; have always been presaged by the successful financial indenture of the many by the few.

The rattle of the chains of debt grow loud as yet another nation delivers itself into feudal slavery.

As for the guy that you honorably contracted with to protect and represent you?

Forget it!

He just found out he's a dog on a short leash.

So..... any of you debtors living in the Land of the sliding Fee and the Home of the variable 50 Year Mortgage are hereby advised against the naive expectation that your freely elected, "representative" is honor bound to your best interest.

This caveat can also be extended to cover other irrelevant details such as recourse to your "Government, by the people, for the people, blah, bah, bah, (blacksheep) ( , etc.)"

Consider it quaint, and highly presumptuous to expect that those we have bound to ourselves by honorable social contract, or those institutions we engage and charge as the guardians of our best interest, would intervene or even consider refereeing in matters between debtor and creditor.

Enabled desire now reaps the harvest of financial excess.

Besides...

Any official intervention that may occur can be expected to be selectively invoked in direct proportion to whom ever has the most money.

And...That ain't you, bub!

Therefore, the National guard is only called out to protect the sovereign people when:

a) It can be found within 12,000 miles of home

Or

b) Mr. Pullman needs someone to shoot striking rail yard workers in Chicago.

Yes, my friends, it looks like we're in a real pickle. The thorny path leading to the inferno of our current national decline into debt slavery and imperial internationalist State-Corporate tyranny appears to end just up ahead in a dilemma of complex ... or is that...A complex dilemma?

And...

Not surprisingly, as is the case with most such problems, the answer as to how we got ourselves compounded in this Waco complex is really quite simple.....

(Drum roll, please!)

And the answer is....

The Devil IS the details in the emerging NWO of the 21st century!

Yup! That's the long and the short of it!

Courtesy of the folks you elected!

So, in the future, I suggest you take a closer look at the social contract you thought you signed with your elected Representative..

Oh, ....Be sure to read the "exclusionary" proviso!

That's the addendum where you will find your name mentioned!

The new and improved "rewritten" fine print now says that both contracting parties, (to be referred to herein as Legislative and Internationalist Corporate) do hereby agree, compact, and acknowledge, jointly and severally, to mutually break your bones to make their bread.

I'll bet you'll never guess who's coming to dinner at your house!

The dinner invitation reads:

Welcome to the real 3d world. An exciting "made for TV" mini-series about a feeding frenzy disorder where (they) the criminally guilty, always get to punish (You) the deliberately deceived victim of a cleverly inflicted, exploitable, personal veniality, for being party to the collective national transgression of enabling them, (the criminals) to take advantage of (you) the victim....

Caveat Emptor, ya' dummy!

But, wait! There is a special treat being served for dessert!

And....It's you!

But wait!...There's more!...should you decide to pass up the invite and reach to turn off the wide screen TV you just bought on credit.....You, AND your fancy TV, will both cease to exist!

But, enough of this gloom and doom stuff, eh?

We must ask ourselves.... Is there a way out of this hot corner of hell on earth?

You bet your over leveraged jackboots, there is!

You and all your descendants can escape the increasingly unappealing civilian sector by become lifers in the Army!

Think I'm kidding? Nope! It's all part of the plan!

Crack those history books one more time and you will see.

Join the Legions, fight and die to further the interests of the moneyed masters of the State...Don't laugh.... It's a good deal!....You get free board and room, plus free travel benefits to all remote corners of the globe!

After all, times are only slated to get tougher! What else can a poor plebe do?

And ... it beats the hell out being starved and taxed to death as a civilian back home in the Imperial National Socialist Soviet Free Democratic People's Republic of Rome!

So, I say: "As long as I don't have to buy the sword....Bring on the Parthians!

Now, THERE'S a "social contract" for you!

POPE BENEDICT (ARNOLD)? ...THE FOX IS IN THE HENHOUSE!

by: CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com

“In a pluralistic society the secularity of the state allows for communication between the different spiritual dimensions and the nation,’ the Pope added. ‘The church and the state, therefore, are not rivals but partners: In healthy dialogue with each other they can encourage integral human development and social harmony.’”

Cardinal J. Ratzinger

***

Greetings, Novus ordo tempus terminus:

And...

Welcome to the final End Times:

You witness before your eyes, the qualification of the Temporal victory of the Modernist, Humanist, NWO!

The Dark now dims the Light.

The Election of Cardinal Ratzinger to the Chair of St. Peter, represents the final triumph of the Humanist and Modernist attack upon the theological foundations of the Western Church of Rome,...and by extension, the entire philosophic social order that built the Western world.

Herr Ratzinger, a church theologian and subscriber of a formerly excoriated dogma, is a principle architect of the doctrinal coup-de-etat, who's tenets had been originally rooted out and cast into the wilderness by Pope Pius the Xl in the early part of the 20th century.

The purges of Pope Pius expunged most but not all of the poison of Humanist modernism from the "Corpus Christi Mundialis."

In the years following the death of Pius XI, a slow re-infiltration of this element began to occur.

Vatican II codified the rehabilitation of the resurgent neo-Masonic subversions.

In a direct and irrefutable connection to the destruction and end of time, it came to pass that the third prophesy of Fatima was therefore, of necessity, vigorously suppressed by the Holy See following the public fainting of Pope Paul VI as he read the sealed text before the assembled Princes of the Church in 1963.

The entire pre-1958 patrimony of the Church concerning the nature of her relationship with the state is now obviated.

And I quote:

"The secular state, one of the principal evils of modernity, is hailed by the Vicar of Christ as a protection of religious freedom andfreedom of conscience."

The quotes of Cardinal Ratzinger taken from the Zenit report prove that he is trying to imply, however obscurely, that the popes of the past had kept Catholics in a ghetto by forcing an unnecessary confrontation with the currents of the modern world. This absurd premise ignores entirely, perhaps deliberately, the root source of the problems of modernity: Protestantism. The fact that many that Catholics succumbed to the ethos of secularism and materialism and various political ideologies in the Nineteenth Century is attributable as one of the long-term manifestations of the effects of the overthrow of the Social Reign of Christ begun by Martin Luther, expedited by Freemasonry and their various anti-Catholic allies, and brought to a conclusion by the work of the American and French Revolutionaries and their successors throughout the world."
The apparent failure of Pope John Paul to reform and reinvigorate the Church and to correct the errors of Vatican II, were doomed to failure as a result of the close monitoring of watchdogs such as Cardinal Ratzinger and other modernists who have been deliberate in their approach to the halls of power.
John Paul, Though a good man, was attempting to rebuild a house on a foundation that had already been compromised. This will be the sad tragedy of the judgment of history upon his tenure.
Now, we see the final prophesies coming to pass. Indeed, this is a black day for the Church as the black veil of the dark side finally seizes the Chair of Saint Peter.

MR. POLARIS POPPED FOR WOBBLING WITHOUT A LICENSE!

2005-04-15T00:57:00.000-07:00

: Greetings, Guardians of Moral Fiber!

: It's a sad day for enemies of superstar turpitude!

: It seems as though our formerly rock-solid celestial pal, Mr. : Polaris, (AKA the North Star)is slipping one too many shots : of Schnapps into his hot Cocoa.

: Back in December I busted our boozy buddy for wobbling across : the evening firmament without a license. For a brief period : thereafter, it seemed as though he had successfully kicked : the erratic error of his formerly evil ways and had whipped : the wobble!

: But sadly, that was then and this is now...the intoxicating : desire to dip a sip of zip from out of the little dipper : has apparently nipped his former steadfast resolve.

: And so...Last night, once again, my trusty laser pointer : zeroed in on empty space for most of the evening!

: Polaris bailed out of position, moving from north west to : north east by nearly a degree and a half over the course of : 5 hours. At 1:30 AM, I re-calibrated the laser and less : than an hour later Polaris was once again AWOL!

: Calls to the local pub, (where all the stars hang out) were : not returned.

POPE JOHN DYING?...WILL HIS PASSING AFFECT YOU OR I?

2005-03-31T18:23:00.000-08:00

Greetings, guardians of the eleventh hour!

So now, if we are to give creedance to the Eleventh Century prophesies of the Irish monk, Saint Malichi, the next to the last of the final of the anointed heirs of Saint Peter, and wielders of a legitimized temporal power;.... A power originally derived from the Emperor Constantine on October 28th in the year 312, is about to shed this mortal coil.

To be frank, I am surprised he has lived as long as he has.

And.....

Although it remains undeniably germane that he has failed to reinstate the strictures of Pope Pius XI, (in the early part of the 20th century) and to reverse the fatal and likely permanent effect and infiltration of the Western Church of Rome by subversive Masonic elements as well as formerly outlawed Modernist agents and theologians, it can still be said that he was probably one of the greatest pontiffs to occupy the Chair of St. Peter in the last several centuries.

But the greatness of this man may never be fully understood.

The reason for that failure may be a failure of the man himself...... Ironically, it may be that his work and its effect was... "too little, too late," by reason of an inability to completely address the wounds in the body of the Church.

It may also be the penalty to be paid in a temporal currency for spirtual transgressions.

The "contra mores" dogmas and effects of these formerly proscribed "NWO" elements were first rehabilitated back into the body of the Church by Pope Pius XXIII in the late '50's and subsequently embedded by Paul IV in 1965 via the aegis of the second Vatican Council.

The result of the triumph of this readmitted school of thought, was the intuitive, instinctive, and generally subconsciously motivated abandonment of the Catholic Church by huge numbers the formerly faithful laity in the middle and late 1960's as well as a decline in general of the Moral authority of the Holy See; an authority which had formerly been acknowledged in effect, if not in theory, by all the subsequent denominations of Christianity that the Western Church has spawned since the Reformation.

As we have already discussed, the complicity by active means, as well as by default, in the rehabilitation of this poisonous doctrine may have been the reason why Pius XXIII fainted in public when he read the third prophesy of Fatima before the assembled Cardinals of the Faith in 1960. It may also have been the reason for the suppression and sealing of that prophesy immediately thereafter.

Whether or not the life work of Pope John will endure, in view of the fact that he chose to predicate it on a foundation that is severely compromised by a growing encroachment of NWO style heresies and perversions, remains to be seen.

My personal feeling is that, not unlike the reforms of the Kuprili Family in the declining years of the Ottoman empire, this man's work may only serve to delay the end logic, and the result gained, when a person of good intent attempts to revive a human institution already infected by the contradictions of its moral antithesis, an institution who's body is therefore suffering from an advanced case of "corpus sine pectore."

ZETA'S CORRECTLY IDENTIFY POLITICAL HIJACK OF SHAVIO EVENT!

2005-03-31T14:30:00.000-08:00

http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta211.htm

***
Greetings, Future Meat Products and Other Reactive Life Forms!

I remind everyone once again that Terri Shavio is not the real issue of the Terri Shavio event. Her death was not only ordained, but desired as necessary by the forces of Modernism and Humanism.

She, and the metaphysically infused event that has transpired about her, are both only means to an end. A means for demons to wear the mask of Angels, and at the same time, a means for the mask of angels to be ripped from the face of Demons. We are given that choice and opportunity, at which to fail or succeed.

From the perspective of constitutional legalities, the Zeta talk analysis is in fact a stingingly correct indictment of what is happening in that venue.
What has occurred in the political arena that is so well and correctly exposed by the Zeta talk analysis, It is not the main core issue however, it is a desperate hijack of an issue for political and social ends.

It may well be no accident that we are forced to address trumped up issues such as those that were attempted by the Executive branches of the State of Florida and the US Government.
The continuing swirl of spun-off eddies such as the attempted hijack of this issue for political ends by the powers that be, serve a purpose to continue to divert and obscure the emergence and affirmation of the moral issue that lies at the core of the event. Instead it casts the already NWO (read: Humanist) controlled political process in the role of moral arbiter.

For above all things, the affirmation of the centuries old Western tradition of Human morality is to be feared the most by the Modernists and Humanists of the New World Order.....Thus they will do anything to divert the issue and the focus of the general public away from possibly measuring the Shavio event and all those like it, past, present, and future by such a yardstick. They will always attempt to insert their own conjured definition of measure instead.

For they well know that they indict themselves as the corrupters and perverters of Truth if they allow that Truth to emerge from the womb of this or any other such transubstantiated event. ..... That Truth being.....that to deny the incarnation of a human form the basic means of sustenance; and that sustenance being the mortal, corporal necessity of both food and water, and that denial being the sole cause that effects the death of that form, then that action is immoral, contradictory to two thousand years of moral behavior and truth, and is in fact, murder.

THE COMING SLAUGHTERHOUSE OF THE SOUL

2005-03-29T04:29:00.000-08:00

: "The needs of the one sometimes outweigh the needs of the : many"

: Star Trek: The Search for Spock

*** Greetings,

I observe that occasionally an event such as that of Terri Schiavio comes along.

The event may not be unique, or perhaps, by reason of its profligate number and occurrence, is even mundane and worthy of little usual notice.

Nonetheless, certain disparate circumstances now and then combine to infuse the energy of a former mundane and common event with the supra-natural powers possessed of a spiritual and moral looking glass.

This pollination of the intangible by the physical, then becomes the medium where inescapable past, present, and future moral and social commentary is reflected back to us as a stark and un-buffered image. A photo negative of our true state of affairs, if you will, and a place where more than just the emperor has no clothes.

It becomes the mirror of Dorian Gray. Its powers are brutal, as only the powers of truth can be. It disabuses us of our spiritual complacency and the social comfort of our self deception. We are found wanting in its presence and remanded to a communal and private purgatory in which the only atonement is the unconditional acceptance of the unpleasant truths about not only our community of fellow man, but that of ourselves as well.

And...

Into this transubstantiated looking glass, even the most unwilling are obliged to peer.

As with the oracles of antiquity, one may divine a great deal from the duress of such a compulsory introspection. We may choose to learn or we may choose to not learn. We may see ourselves as others see us or we may deny the truth thrice before the dawn breaks.

But most terrifying of all, we may see in any such event, the end result that is our commonly constructed fate; a fate awaiting us in a place where the creation devours the creators, one and all, on the other side of the looking glass.

Today, as we look upon the dying face of Terri Schiavio, we are witness to an event that tells us much beyond the obvious of yet another disconnected life-support system.

In it we see ourselves as a People that no longer have the foundation of values upon which an enduring national dream may be built.

In it we see the undeniable end-logic and destination of a world where the spirit of Man is reduced to a factor of the equation instead of the totality of the sum.

In it we see the spiritual alienation that we affect to deny. We see the moral road that once led to Camelot, its distant zepher'd pennants beckoning to us from down a far path; a path from which we were once seduced, and that we will never walk again.

Our senses are indicted by the accusation of a verity that we have voided and deflowered the values and affirmations of the labor of two thousand years of social moral constructs, human history, cultural heritage, and the essence of salvation striven to be achieved by past generations of men and women.

And, in it we read, written in the blood of our fathers, that redemption of the venial is a worthy goal and that there is valor and virtue of enduring substance in the aspiration of attainment to the higher spiritual qualities of Man.

But most of all, in this looking glass, the rightly horrified viewer gazes into his own eyes, that, like two hollow coals of steel-cold fire, peer back at him.

And he comes to know therein, the eyes of his own executioner.

Hither he falls into the eternal damnation of his own looking glass, whilst thither about him scurry the demons of his blackest nightmares, methodically constructing the workings and mechanics necessary to contain the once and future inhabitants of the coming slaughterhouse of the soul.

CHINA, INDIA, AUSTRALIA, AND THE FATE OF S.E. ASIA

AUSTRALIA TO DEFEND TIAWAN IF CHINA ATTACKS?

By: CliffMickelson

Date: Sunday, 6 March 2005, 5:50 a.m.

***

"Australia will come to the defense of Taiwan if attacked by China. "

-Australian Foreign Minister, Alexander (the) Downer:

***
Greetings, My Fellow Sweaty Bomb Shelter Diggers!

What say we all put down the shovel for a moment and take a well-deserved break!
Let us consider whether or not to take the measure of the above quote as an indicator of the necessity for making the wife and kids dig too!

My take on the significance of Mr. Downer's "downer" remark would be that the honorable Minister is simply reading us a bedtime story. It is a standard ditty and one that he is plagiarizing directly out of the "Once Upon A Time" section of his textbook, entitled:
"Statecraft 101" (sub-title) "International Power Politics and the Maintenance of The Balance of Power."

But be warned, because the Surgeon General and the state of California have established that bedtime stories have been know to cause nightmares.
Not to worry, my blister-handed friends...The nightmare is already here. (If you don't believe me, just move to California!)

Further...It is a well established fact that among nations......
The pack will always seek to pull down any wolf that grows too tall.
In the unending shifts of alliances between nations, the common denominator is a socialist paradyme on the equality of players.
This, in and of itself, is not necessarily a bad thing.
(Among nations, that is)

The military application of the concept that our Aussi Foreign Minister is so impolitely reminding us of, can be seen as occurring in force, time and time again, back through history.
No matter how out of kilter the world's balance of power may be at any given moment in time, (it is currently VERY out of kilter) The applicable rule states that: The enemy of my enemy is my friend, etc. (and variations upon the theme, ad nauseum)

With this in mind, the Situation with Taiwan is a worrisome one. It is one that is fraught with the possible emergence into dominance of random chaos potentialities.
For all intents and purposes, the Mainland Chinese claim to Taiwan is absurd. If for no other reason than by reason of the one that I have just now invented, and have decided to dub (ya): "Cliff's International Statute of Reasonable Time Limitations"! (AKA, Com'mon' youze guys!... It's been YEARS!.. Give us a break!)

The sound and fury signifying the true nothingness comprising Beijing's weeping and gnashing of teeth over Taiwan, provides a heaping plate full of instructive entertainment for apprentices in the disinformation field as well as serves up an excellent second helping of motivation among political catastrophists to experience the virtues of fresh air and the benefits of physical exercise. (Hey, buddy, ya' got'a spare shovel?)

Our peevish Mainland Neo-Mandarins kindly provide the audience with an enlightening example of how to create a new political reality.
They dazzle those of us who live on the World's pumpkin wagon by the exhibition of a marvelous sleight of hand, wherein, they make an insulting assumption about the level of human intelligence by waving the sacred semantic wand of false illusion above a formerly empty box, all the while, informing us that it really contains the a living, breathing, reality.
This apparent impossibility they then pull out of the box, (via their hat) much to the endless mystification of all who can pass a literacy test.

However, at risk of life and limb, my sources tell me that the secret ingredient used by the Peking prestidigitators is the relentlessly generated repetition of a false or partially false set of facts and claims! (So THERE!...Chou down on THAT one!)

In other words, We don't need no stinkin' true facts cuz we aim to change 'em!
And...
As we all know much too well, After a while, the lie becomes truth and the truth now becomes the lie.

Taiwan has been an independent nation and recognized as such since long before the mainland Chinese obtained similar recognition.

Remaining conscious of this then, if we closely observe the attitude and tactics of Beijing as per Taiwan, we will be able to most likely discern what they infer for the rest of the world at some point in time.

One verity, above all others, remains self evident in the world and life of the common man as well as in the more rarefied Olympian heights of international power politics:
And that is:
The way that the words are assembled in the effort to enable how any problem is approached, will always betray the agenda, the motivation, and/or extended intent of the participants.
This is the reason that political analysts as well as Intelligence agencies are so meticulous with every nuance of a world leaders speeches and statements.

You will recall that Hitler told Chamberlain that he only wanted the Sudatenland. ...Uh...Oh...and by the way, a corridor through Poland to Danzig!

Taiwan is a tiny and insignificant speck compared to the huge bulk of the Chinese mainland. What skin is it off the tail of the People's Republic to let the Taiwanese decide their own destiny?
Isn't this what Self determination of nations, world peace, and the attendant organizations charged to guard and insure the above are all supposed to be about?
But...When it comes to Taiwan, where are the vociferous voices in the United Nations that cry out so often and so loudly for the oppressed peoples of the world? The same voices that are so silent now were buying Taiwan radios and knick knacks 20 years ago. Now they buy from China.

Taiwan is a representative republic with freely elected representatives.
This is not a boast that the bully boys of Tienamen Square can also advertise.
I believe that it would speak much better of the long term intent and agenda of the mainland, were they to allow the free expression of the will to the people of Taiwan to be respected.
That they are unwilling to do so is ominous.

It is also important to remember that it is the Mainland that is keeping this issue alive and not the other way around.... But then, I suppose if we applied the yardstick of what I wrote above to Tibet then we will know what is in store for Taiwan in the near future.
Northern Vietnam, Mongolia, India and the Russian far East had better get ready for the inevitable, because Taiwan is but a small morsel and will only whet the appetite for equally or even less valid and honorable claims upon their national territories.

Australia will find itself, willing on not, as much an eventual front line target of Chinese expansionism as it was to the Imperial Japanese who bombed Darwin. Fortunately, the unforeseen victory by the US Naval forces at the Battle of Midway removed any serious Japanese threat of an invasion of Australia. The Chinese may not be as unlucky as to have a squadron of American bombers catch them with their planes on deck, fully loaded with fuel and bombs.

In my opinion, the fate of Southeast Asia turns upon how successfully India matches the ante-up of Beijing.

TO BONNIE, FOLLOWING PASSAGE OF PATRIOT ACT ll

2005-03-27T09:27:00.000-08:00

Dear Bonnie:

You must remember that the bill known as Patriot Act II would have passed no matter who was president. "We the people" are no longer in control of our own destiny. Neither have we been for some long time.

There is no turning back for us at this point. The system is terminally corrupt.

Perhaps a constitutional convention could save it, but it's doubtful. The nation we call "America" was hijacked many years ago. This place where we now dwell is not our America. That America lives on, but it now found only in our hearts.

The most telling and blatent notice of the hijack of "our" America, was when Kennedy was murdered. But the clues to that crime go much farther back.

It is worth remembering that it is now more dangerous to be a patriot than it is to be a communist!

The sovereign States have been reduced to little more than political conveniences. That is the legacy of the War between the States and the constitutional crimes of Lincoln.

You ask about George Bush and his agenda?

Yes, it is true that the creature you often see on the TV looks like George Bush, but it is not George Bush. It is just a reasonable facsimile thereof. You see, George Bush, THE real George Bush is a hijack victim too!

There is no difference between the agenda of Geo Bush as President and the agenda of a would be President Al Gore. There would be no difference in the agenda if you or I were president.

That is because the agenda that is happening is not the agenda of the America we once knew and that now lives in our hearts. It is not even the agenda of the Presidents that propose it.

It is instead a twisted characature of deformity, a hunchback on stilts, disguised by the cleverly purloined death mask of what was once the greatest of nations where man could dare to dream.

At this late date, were ever a true difference in direction to be attempted by any president, that President would be removed or neutralized. The message of Dallas comes through loud and clear. And so, the two political partys attend the masquarade Ball each on the arm of the hunchback. They are just two faces of a shadowy neather world from whence issues the imperial beast.

That beast will grind your children to make it' bread and grind you as a citizen under a work load until you too, are dead.

Never forget: It is your patriotic duty to work until you drop over and are buried. Do not entertain the antisocial fantasy of retirement. The American Sheeple now sit blissfully ignorant in the cush comfort of the velvet glove that cradles them. Little do they suspect that beneath that velvet lies a fist of iron that prepares to crush them already. The fate that awaits them when their usefulness to the agenda is over, can be seen in the story of Central and South America. It is the fate of leaders like Allende, and the peoples of , El Salvadore, Kosovo, Argentina, etc... the list seems endless if one draws it up.

So.... Anyone who tries to tell you that the Republicans or the Democrats are the ones to stop the madness, is either blissfully ignorant and suffering from political naivete, or is an agenda agent themselves, intent upon deliberately misleading you with disinformation.

Look past the window dressing. Do you see the continuous line?... LBJ to Nixon to Carter to Bush .....Clinton to Bush II.

On it goes... All the same. All the same choreography. The same puppet master.

Has any true National issue been resolved in the last 50 years? Has one even been raised?

There is no National dream is there? It is no coincidence that it too, died in Dallas.

This deformity that has hijacked our America reveals itself to with greater and greater impunity. The fear of the People has been replaced by contempt.

It trumpets the intimidating news that it can read your license plate from outerspace! But then claims it is impossible to stop illegal barefoot peasants from crossing miles of open desert?

The examples are legion.

The mask lowers further. Does madness fear to reveal itself before those whom the gods have made blind?

No. And I can assure you that at this late date, it won't, either.

There is no where left to run, but there are still a few good places to hide.

Bonnie, You made a wise decision when you moved out of LA.

NEW FACTS EMERGE...OR DO THEY?...IN SHOOTING OF ITALIAN JOURNALIST!

Naomi Klein Reveals New Details About U.S. Military Shooting of Italian War Correspondent in IraqDemocaracy Now!

Friday, March 25th, 2005

***

[Please note]...For full background on my commentary of the snip below, you may follow the above link to the full text of the interview.

-CM

***(Begin snip)

"and the way she explains it, she had to go through a U.S. checkpoint in order to get into the Green Zone.You can only access this road through the Green Zone. It's very, very difficult to get into theGreen Zone. When I tried to get into the Green Zone, I had to go through six checkpoints -- sixdifferent passport checks. So, the idea that the American military didn't know that they were on theroad, that they -- that didn't know about their presence is impossible, if she was, in fact, on aroad that emerged out of the Green Zone. And I think that the idea that there was a mobilecheckpoint set up for Negroponte obviously supports this claim very strongly. What Giuliana wastalking about was what she was -- the only thing she could figure out is that the people who theychecked in with in the Green Zone, the U.S. soldiers they checked in with in the Green Zone in orderto get in, didn't radio ahead to these mobile checkpoints and warn them that they were coming. Andfrom her perspective, that could have either been a mistake, or it could have been some sort of actof vengeance and anger, you know, and we know that there's a lot of anger at the idea that Italiansmay be paying very large ransoms for the release of prisoners"(end snip)

***

Greetings, Semantic Savants:

The above snip, excerpted from the interview, seriously concerns me.

Having previously effected to establish a premise in absolutist terminology, we now suddenly encounter conditional modifiers in a paragraph that additionally begins with a prima facia contradiction between parties, or in a worst case assumption....a lie.

This is either an accidental offering of extreme carelessness on the part of the interviewer, Naomi Klien, or is an exceptionally clever parachute.

For what ever reason, the typical intransigence of the American Military command to offer into evidence the vehicle, only compounds the already seriously compromised establishment of truth in this matter. Suffice to say that it can be expected that such public relations stupidity only bolsters the circumstantial assumptions of a level of higher complicity and/or perhaps something to hide.

Such an assumption however, is the only product to emerge from this affair that has claim to the royalty of a greater dominion over the increasing number of parties involved;... all of whom seem intent on clamoring for citizenship in the kingdom of stupidity.

So, at this point, we have an ex post facto situation in progress where all current public parties involved, (excepting Ms. Guiliana) are determinedly vying to take turns shooting themselves in the foot in order to impress the public with their version of the truth.

As an aside, therefore, the next question than must be routinely asked is:

Who benefits from the fallout resulting out of the death of this Italian intelligence official, and who stands to gain by the attempted death of this high profile Italian journalist, were it to be perpetrated in such a blatant and open manner?

Is this attack consistent with established protocol for ridding one's self of a staunch allies' high ranking intelligence agent?

And/Or ....

Is it a cost effective, plausibly deniable, and approved methodology for killing "agenda hostile" world famous journalists who are also citizens of one of a shrinking number of firm allies, considering that the same party had just been released from a captivity that involved both governments and the media attention of the world?

.....and...if we are to assume the veracity of what Ms. Klien relates as to the fact that it was a 50 caliber machine gun, (four inch) round that killed the officer and wounded Ms. Guiliana, and we are to accept that indeed, there were 3 to 4 hundred rounds that entered the car, then we must also invoke the mystery and the wonder at the work of the hand of God, who's power it was that allowed the driver to pull over, get out, and make a phone call home.

I have seen what 50 caliber rounds can do. Were I the driver of such a car, and an Atheist, I would find myself investing my time with my first phone dime, in acknowledging the existance of the divine.

We must also wonder at the marksmanship of the American soldiers and give credit to the Air Force for winning the war on the ground.

I will add that In my experience, any survivors of this kind of an attack in progress, other than that of an immediately perceived accidental or unauthorized occurrence, are usually shot when they emerge.

If for some reason they are not, then they are spread eagle'd with a M16 at the back of the head until military Intel. arrives and carts them away at once to green room "debrief." That rule applies across the board. Friendlies or no.

Considering the life threatening wound by a bullet that would knock over an adult elephant, and the shock and suddenness of events as they occurred, not to mention the time spent in the "black hole" of captivity as a hostage, one can only be impressed by Ms. Guiliana's presence of mind in the course of the situation.

I doubt highly that were I to be in the same situation that I would be able to mark such details as the stretcher, the phone call, and the order to stop the phone call, all this and more, with such accuracy of recall. (See full interview)

So it seems that the blind continue to poke the blind in the eye at this point and the only one who's vision is lost, is Truth.

We know that there was a savage and murderous attack on an innocent and unsuspecting party of three in a land where the value of life is currently suffering sever deflation.

The principle actors in this tragedy continue to remain mute and standing in the wings.

As for the sound and fury of the supporting cast of players currently strutting about on stage; due to the requirements of their pending citizenship in the kingdom of stupidity, there is little else that we truly can say we know.

WHERE DID WORLD WAR I REALLY START?

2005-03-26T06:00:00.000-08:00

WHERE DID WORLD WAR ONE REALLY START?

By: CliffMickelson

Date: Friday, 4 March 2005, 9:07 a.m.

As the events of the early 20th century begin to fade into the mists of time, it is not uncommon in our day and age to find that few people have a true understanding of one of the principle causes of the most costly and bloody war ever fought in Human history.

World War One, AKA "The Great War, or "The War to End All Wars" was a conflict so traumatic and so ghastly, that when it finally ended, not only had the map of the world changed beyond all recognition, but the world itself would never again be the same.

Those with a passing knowledge of this life and death struggle between the Titans of Europe, often cite the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand by a Serbian student anarchist as the cause.

This is a common misconception. World War One would have been fought regardless. For 50 years, the events that would one day eradicate an entire generation of youth had been simmering with an increasing intensity.

England and Germany,… England, Germany and France,… England, Germany, France and Russia....In the frantic quest for the Imperium that characterized Europe in the nineteenth century, many European nations came and went, but.....there was always England. And England had no intention of brooking competition.

-But competition, there was!

The competition between England and the Germanies had become particularly vicious prior to the successes of Bismarck over the Austrians and the subsequent unification of the Electorates. These Two world class powers, second cousins in both language and culture, had long possessed a keen rivalry reserved for the domain of siblings.

The British assault of 1898-1902 upon the hapless but indomitable Boer population of the South Africa only exacerbated hard feelings between the two powers.

One nation, already wealthy and Imperial, and the other, chaffing to share in the rush to riches, were both destined to sooner or later come into overt conflict.

And then there was....Austria! Or, more correctly, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, held as a personal fiefdom of the House of Hapsburg.

Prior to the ascendancy of Prussia and the union of the Germanies at the behest of Bismarck, The House of Hapsburg had long proved itself a thorn in the side of their Anglo-Saxon cousins across the channel. The signature of this competition was written upon the straits of the Bosporus and on the waters of the Euxine and the rocky islands and shores of Greece.

Added into this mix were the Slavs, who, in combination with the Austrians, had ambitions of their own in the regions that London felt were of strategic Imperial interest.

It should come as no surprise then to discover that English foreign policy in the last half of the Nineteenth Century was decidedly Anti German and anti Slav.
Perhaps the greatest architect of English Imperial policy during this period of time was the remarkable politician and four time prime minister, William E. Gladstone.
It was the Anti Slavic and Anti Hapsburg containment policies of Prime Minister Gladstone that were destined to lay the much of the ground work for what later became known as World War One.

But what can we use as a starting point? What event can we point to and say:
"Aha! There it is...HERE it is that the road to war emerges!"
Does such a starting point exist?

Yes, I believe it does.

World War One began in a tiny little village, 20 miles west of the walls of Constantinople in the year 1878!

A place known to the Greeks as San Stefano.

It was on a cold November day in San Stefano, that a victorious Russian army halted in anticipation of the final surrender of the Ottomans to the might of the Czars!
Despairing of help from England or France, and decidedly beaten, the Turks agreed to sign the document known as the treaty of San Stefano.

But at that very moment, unbeknownst to both the Turks and the Russians, sailing at top speed up the Bosporus to the very doors of the "Divine Porte was an English fleet.

Meet William E. Gladstone!

As a result of this gunboat diplomacy and the subsequent effective use of diplomatic power and intrigue by Gladstone, a case can be made that on that day, the true genesis of both the Great War, and it's subsequent sequel in 1939 were ordained to be.

Both World Wars of another century, can be actually traced back to the forced revision by the English, of the treaty of San Stefano.

That treaty between the Ottomans and the Russians had confirmed the gains of the Russian victory in the Russo-Ottoman war of the same date. The centuries-long goal of the return of the Orthodox to Constantinople and the symbolic mass at a re-sanctified Haiga Sophia, appeared at last to have been realized.

However, this pan Orthodox quest was fated to never come to pass.
As they had so many times in the past, the principle powers of the West determined to thwart their fellow co-religonist over matters of State. The Gains of the Russian armies were surrendered to the intrigues of the English.

And....

To this very day, one man alone is held to account by both the Russians and the Austrians for the defeat of a policy pursued for two centuries; centuries spent in blood, in war, and in the nurturing of an implacable hostility by the Austro- Russian Balkan alliance toward the decayed Empire of the Ottomans.

So it was that the English presided as midwife at the stillbirth of the Slavic dream of the redemption and re-Christianization of the second Rome through the aegis of the third Rome
Prime Minister Gladstone, with his usual efficiency, had obtained the connivance of the French in forcing a summit that we know today as the "Congress of Berlin." It was at this "congress" that the treaty of San Stefano was "ex-post-facto" rewritten to suit the imperial interests of the English.

When the dust cleared, the Treaty, it's provisions and its grants had been completely eviscerated by the activities and intrigues of Whitehall's emissaries. The Russian and Austrian gains of the recent Russo-Ottoman war were completely reversed!

The Russians and the Austrians, never forgot that robbery. If it hadn't been for the unforeseen assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914, and for the fact that for over 200 years the Austrians and the Russians were as much competitors as friends in the Balkans, it would not have been beyond the realm of possibility to have seen the Russians fighting in W.W.I on the side of the Central powers.

And THAT, my dear readers, is one of those inscrutable... "What if's?"
It is one that would have changed the course of history!

THE ANTI-CLERIC NATURE OF THE 1910 MEXICAN REVOLUTION!

THE ANTI-CLERIC NATURE OF THE 1910 MEXICAN REVOLUTION!

By: CliffMickelson

Date: Thursday, 3 March 2005, 6:10 p.m.

***

Anti-Clericism...What is it?

It is a term we North Americans may occasionally hear associated with Mexico, or perhaps with the French Revolution of 1797.

It strikes many as rather odd, that such a term can be applied to nations and peoples, long viewed as possessing deep historic and religious ties to the Faith.

Yet:

Few, outside of Mexico, or the rest of Latin America, truly can understand the nature of the role played by this force in the history of the Spanish speaking nations of the New World.

The emotions the term evokes south of the border can often strike us as incomprehensible.

However, it is important to remember that the power of this force is a dynamic that has defined who and what Latin Americans are today. It is one that has been seen to be exceptionally pronounced in all Latin based cultures. This is true in both the New as well as in the Old world.

Thanks to the lust and greed of Henry VIII, (Conveniently enabled by the rationale of a need for an heir) the Anglo Saxon New World sprang forth from the forehead of it's founders, relatively free of clerical encumbrances.

Not so, the Latin Nations and Colonies. There, the prerogatives, powers, and the justification for the monopoly of the State, (based on a mutually agreed compromise reached in prior centuries) continued to remain founded upon the opaque and unassailable monopoly of the doctrines of the Church.

There, each of the two ruling classes, political and spiritual, supported the oppression of the other, dividing the people between them as chattel of both the physical and of the spiritual world.

Unlike in the Germanic North American world, this "Oppression of dualism" was transferred, completely enfranchised from the Latin Old World, to the Latin New World.
It was a system that had achieved perfection in the triumph of the oppression of power. It left no area, physical, spiritual, nor intellectual, free from it's absolutist imperium.

It is in understanding the nature of such a system of symbiotic oppression that we are able to understand the nature and the reasons for the stark divergence of the destinies of the new nations whelped by the sons of Rome as opposed to that of those born of the heresies of Luther and enabled by the subsequent emergence of the Anglo-Dutch Mercantilist theory and it's spawn, the capitalist class.

It is ironic to note (in Mexico's case) that the "Grito de Dolores" was raised by a cleric. However, he was a lowly friar, A mestizo, and was more a member of the class of common man, than a Don of the elite halls of church and state.

Following the establishment of Itubide as first president of Mexico, the revolution remained uncompleted. The encomienda system was for all intents and purposes still fully entrenched and the people, (as so often happens) soon found that they had only exchanged one of their masters for another, while leaving the other more or less enabled in it's spiritual power.

The discontent of a job unfinished, would not find it's voice for another 100 years in the Republic of Mexico. When it finally did, it was a long, bloody, and unfortunate affair. We, in the North, would not know this kind of Struggle for there had never been a need for it. Not so, in Latin America

The revolution begun in November 1910 by the forces of Poncho Villa, served as a testimonial to the achievement that was the perfection of the oppression established by the Old Latin World "contract" of compromise/solution between church and state.

Today we may look back across the chasm of time and see the canyon that history has formed between the peoples of North and South America.

Two separate peoples, each fated to separate destinies. Both brought forth and related by blood as sons of the same spiritual mother. But one son was fated to be fathered by a union of absolutist oppression; one deeply rooted in the Counter Reformation, while the other son; a bastard gett of the development of ruling class political and economic oppressions peculiar to the Anti-Roman heresies of the Germanic, was destined to be fathered out of a union mothered by the Reformation.

You can use this table (A) to calculate sun rise and moon rise in your particular location. Pretty darn cool, eh?

Well, except for one small detail.....

It is now 2:38AM and moon has yet to rise! There is only a faint glow begining to show.
Also, it seems that our Moon is one confused puppy! The poor thing is rising farther to the WEST again, each succeeding night this month, just like it did each night in March.

Folks, ...this is a very naughty moon!

Doesn't our silvery orb know that each night, following the full moon, it is supposed to rise farther to the east?

Think about it, and you will remember that Diana's chariot normally rises each succeeding night, farther to the East.

So, what's the deal here in the Northwest over the last two months?
Who ever heard of a moon rising farther to the West each night?

The very idea is unAmerican!... Next thing you know NASA will want to take all the credit!

Say..... You don't suppose they are messing with too much Strontium 90 over at Hanford, do you?
I can't speak for any other locations, but I sure can verify mine! .....And, Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm here to say that this particular moon needs a serious tune up,!

..... Oh yea, one other thing.... Has anyone seen the Milky Way lately? I'm broken-hearted because I think it left me!

A SHORT OVERVIEW OF LUNAR BEHAVIOR IN THE LAST YEAR!

(begin snip by Mammonator, Rumor Mill News)

Cliff

One thing I have noticed is that the moon's 'rotations' have been consistent any night I look more than once. Always clockwise and apparently consistent based on the general timeframe

-Mammonator

Greeting, Mammonator:

You may be interested to know,(As I am certain U.E. would be) that the statment above is no longer the case. As such, there continues to be indications of other forces at work.

As of the first week in December, the rotation shifted clockwise so that the Sea of Crisis, (The right eye of the man in the moon) was no longer rising at the 2 o'Clock position. (It's traditional and time honored post)

This change shattered the rythem of a pattern that had not varied since it began with the full moon of July 3, 2004.

From The first week of December until the current lunar cycle that is now just ending, the moon followed the new pattern of rising "cocked back" clockwise with the right eye now rising at the 11:30 position. The degrees of rotation stayed the same however, but as it had always done since July, only occurred from zenith to within 45 degrees of set to the west. It NEVER rotated from rise to zenith.

It seems that this latest pattern is much shorter lived than those prior. Draw from that whatever conclusions you may, but the fact is that beginning with the lunation now ending, the right eye, upon rising, now appears in the 12 O'clock position.

Additionally, the rotation begins before zenith, which it has never done before, and it also appears to be slowing down in the amount of time it consumes to rotate. I suspect that we are about to see the emergence of a completely new pattern with the new moon of the comming cycle. At best, a return to ancient patterns of transit may occur. However, my intuition tells me that this will not be the case.

You may feel free to post this if you wish.

THE GODS OF WAR...TAMERLANE AND ALEXANDER!

2005-03-24T13:20:00.000-08:00

THE GODS OF WAR...TAMERLANE AND ALEXANDER!
By: CliffMickelson
Perhaps one of the greatest military tacticians of all times is a man who's name is rarely heard in this modern age. But, the inovative and revolutionary military skills of this man rank him along side Hannibal Barca of Carthage and Alexander the Great of Macedonia.
His given name was "Timur" but we generally know him in the west by the name of "Tamerlane." This name became common in the English world due to a play written by the Elizabethan author and playwright Robert Marlow.
Circa 1590 or so, Marlow published the first half of a work that he entitled "Tamerlane." This was one of his master works and one that was to become a very popular centerpiece of the literary circles of the day.
At a later date, the American poet, Edgar Allen Poe, also wrote a popular piece with the same title.
Of Course, Tamerlane is an English language corruption of the appellation "Timur-il-link" which is Ughar /Turkic for Timur the lame. (Timur meaning 'Iron' in the Turkic vernacular.
Timur was lame from early in adulthood when he took an arrow in the thigh while he and his brother or a close friend, were attempting to steal livestock.
The first half of the life of Timur was unremarkable and held no hint of the promise of military genius that he later displayed.
Here in the West we tend to overlook or just briefly pass over the campaigns and warlords who made the history of the middle and far east. This is an unfortunate loss because some of the most outstanding feats of arms and examples of consummate generalmanship can be found in the ancient and mediaeval exploits of the leaders of the forces indigenous to that area.
Timur was a world class chess player and would often be found on the evenings before and after battles in his tent engrossed in a chess match with his eldest son, Shah Rok. The night following the battle of Angora, one of the Tarter Khans was able to personally capture Sultan Bayazid as he attempted to flee the field. Timur was so intent upon his chess match that when a guard attempted to approach him with the news, (which you would think was important stuff!) that he grabbed a saber and chased the poor man down. Needless to say, the fallen Bayazid, a famous conqueror in his own right, and the Padashah of the mighty Ottoman Empire, was kept waiting in chains until the chess match was over!
Two other brilliant leaders of that region and time come to mind. One is fairly well known and the other is less so. They are Heligu, a grandson of Ghengis Khan and the destroyer of Baghdad and exterminator of the Assassins of Alamut, and of course the well known Kurdish Mamluk, Sahl-a-din, or Saladin as he is more commonly known.
As per Alexander:
It was at the River Granicus that Alexander was first confronted by the forces of three of the great king's Satraps, (Governors)
They were, Aristes, the Strap of Phrygia, Arsamenes, the governor of Cilicia, and the well known Spithradates who held an appointment over Lydia and the Ionian Islands.
The three Satraps took up a position high on the opposite bank of the river and lined the bank with their cavalry instead of their infantry. This was an exceedingly stupid mistake and one that the keen eye of Alexander spotted at once. He sent his infantry forward into the river and directly at the Persian horse. As the Infantry reached the far bank, the Persian Cavalry charged. But the long sarissas of the Macedonians easily repulsed the charge with a heavy loss. At this point Alexander plunged into the water with his horse guards and forced the center of the line.
Parminio held the Persian flanks in check and the fighting swirled around the standards of Alexander and the three Satraps. At one point a Persian noble even got close enough to lop off the plume on Alexander's helmet, and another had moved behind him, and raised his saber, intent upon stabbing Alexander in the back. However, Clietus, a Macedonian officer,(who some years later was killed by Alexander in a drunken rage) Saved the young king's life by a timely spear thrust.
The Persian center gave way, two of the Satraps were slain on the field and the third, Aristes, escaped, only to commit suicide the next day rather than face the displeasure of his master.
Alexander didn't actually confront King Darius until the following year. (333 BC)
Following the victory at the River Granicus, Alexander paused to do some kingly sightseeing and to recieve the homage of the Ionian Greek cities. As he slowly moved his forces east, Darius was mustering the hosts of Asia. It would be at a place called Issus that the two greatest lords of the age would clash for the first time.
It was at Issus that Alexander repeated the tactic that he had used to save the day for his father, Philip, less than 5 years earlier. There, a furious charge by Alexander and his cavalry, routed the Athenians and the hoplites of Thebes. Issus was a carbon copy. Alexander drove straight for the king's standards. Darius fled and the battle was lost. However, the tactical deployment of the Persians had left much to be desired anyway.
At Issus, The Great king had marched along the coast of Cilicia with a huge host, conservatively numbered at nearly 600,000 men. Included in this number were over thirty-thousand Greek mercenaries alone!
As Darius moved west along the coast, Alexander remained inland and moved his forces east. Coming down off the high Anatolian plateau, the Macedonians passed through the narrow Cilician gates and came out on the coast in the rear of Darius. They then force marched west, encountering the vanguard of the Persians at Issus. Despite the vast superiority of numbers enjoyed by the Persians, Darius with his characteristic imbecility had consented to give battle on a narrow plain between the shore and the mountains. Of course this was a huge tactical error and it effectively prevented the Persian deployment of their cavalry as well as the maximum use of superior numbers of infantry.
Alexander realized that this error was his opportunity and he moved forward at once. The fighting was hot and heavy nonetheless, until the standards of Alexander were seen to approach to chariot of the Great King. At this point, Darius lost his nerve and fled, leaving his Army, his Treasure and all his several dozen wives, including his mother, Sisygambis and his queen-consort, Statira!
Needless to say, the Persian Army, upon seeing Darius beat feet, lost heart and gave way. Alexander would only encounter Darius one more time, (At Gaugamela) but that battle would have to wait a year as Alexander now turned south, intent upon the submission of the Levant and Egypt.
Alexander had taken the measure of Darius at Issus and no longer considered his defeat to be a pressing matter of strategic importance.

ON THE NATURE OF POTENTIALITIES IN HUMAN HISTORY

2005-03-24T13:16:00.000-08:00

Greetings:

I recently engaged in an interesting series of emails with an Internet acquaintance of mine.

In the course of our exchange, the subject turned to the particular quirks of random chance that so often affects past human history, and thereby determine the present and future shape of our world.

We both agreed that the great flow comprising all that we are today, can be distilled out as the sum total of the current present and past "emergence and dominance" of an ongoing and transitory number of competing and cross purpose forces known as..... historical potentialities.

The universal totality of the above described force, is that of one possessed of a living energy and so encompassing in its universal totality that it's very existence is rarely even perceivable by those who would dream of someday living in the forest ... but currently find themselves forced to dwell among the trees.

Historical potentialities are forces in possession of a power that is enfranchised, not only by the collective and individual consciousness of all past and living humanity, but also by the omnipresent sponsorship and active interference of the physical and metaphysical realms of the universe.

A short allegory may help us visualize the nature of how these forces function.

All card players know that in the deck of 52 cards, the eight of clubs precedes the nine of clubs and follows the seven. Further, it is a given assumption that there will be four different suits of cards and that in each suit there will be one card that will bear the same exact number.

This knowledge creates an agreed upon communal illusion...a "Matrix" within which the card player interacts with other players in the communal game.

The common knowledge of the parameters that limit and define the reach of the above "matrix" that is the game, is an assumed premise the individual card players take for granted as being an accepted "given" by all in the game

It is at this point the synchronized illusion of a common matrix now become the communal reality. It is now a valid experience...Each player contributes an important portion of validation to the mutually agreed upon illusion All merges into oneness....A oneness that is enshrined within the now living matrix by the contract implied by the agreed consent of the participating parties.

One result of this is that the universe of the matrix becomes proactive.

Originally created as a means to an end, (the game) it soon begins to develop an inertia that carries it inexorably beyond the mandate of the intended reality it was created to vector. This inertia develops in the realm of abstract potentialities and forms a sort of self propelled vehicle that moves the game and the players toward an end-logic that slowly becomes based not in the ongoing game, but in some point that doesn't yet exist... This then is the emergence of the potentiality of the Future.

The development of the expectation of events yet to occur, obtains a certain predictability as the game develops and soon becomes a projected subset of the current reality of the game. This happens because of a natural predilection that develops within the group and is born out of the dynamic nature of the game. The common matrix responds to a subtle assignment by all the players to assume a role that now exceed its function as per the parameters of the game.

Thus, the Matrix AND the game become the medium by which the future of the game, (and all games) can be predicted by players with a reasonable amount of certainty. All this comes about due to, and based upon, the requisite acceptance as "reality' of a commonly agreed and created intangibility or "Illusion" by the group.

As the game progresses, so does the growth of the potential for effect of the current matrix within the realm of future potentialities.

In a card game, commonly agreed upon rules and knowledge can therefore lend themselves as a statistical certainty. They can, (and are) frequently used by the players to aid in the estimate of the amount of risk to consider and how that risk may aid or impair winning the game.

The card player's estimate of the potential risks of an any play he may make is based on computing the statistical odds affecting the cards that have past and presently emerged on the table. He will estimate how they may then relate to those currently in his hand.

The final function the player must perform is to apply the results of the prior two processes in order to estimate the potentiality of the future order and the odds of the future order, as both relate to the potential emergence of the remaining cards in the deck.

The sum of all these considerations will likely then indicate to the player that the chance potentiality of one type or number of card being played next, is higher or lower than another. Upon all this, the astute player will make his play.

So it is with the grand deck of cards we know as human history. It is a deck from whence many potential cards may emerge. Each one remains unique but related to all those that came before it. There will also exist a specific statistical ratio to the nature of the present dominant historical potentiality that is always in tandem with the sum of the past. It can be used to deduce the possible nature and order of potentialities in the future. Or...in other words, those cards yet to be played.

The events of history, broken down in such a way, can be seen to function (roughly) as would the play of cards, each defining and refining the odds applying to the nature and order all of the remaining cards as well as to the emergence of the next or "dominant" play in the game.

Potentialities are forces that move through time and space in a competing statistical flow. Each will strive to emerge as dominant. Only a certain amount, based upon the successful interaction with related or modular predecessors, usually succeed in doing so.

It is a given then, that all past potentialities that have emerged upon the "table" of history will normally bear a statistical relationship with the current dominant emergence we experience at what ever moment it may be that we choose to know as the "present."

To reiterate, In a card game, our willingness to take risk and our estimates of our future success are based upon what we know of past "cards" laid on the table and those in our hand.

Similar historical mechanics, therefore, also lend themselves as a benchmark of historical "risk and probability factors."

They can be used to determine the odds of events of the future and give us an uneasy amount of future predictability to apply to human history.

But, (as with most systems of order) there is almost always a big fat fly to be found doing the backstroke somewhere in the soup de jouir!

In cards, we know this meal-stopper as: "The Joker" Among the flow of historical potentialities it is known as the "potentiality of random chaos"

It is interesting to note that many of the events that have changed the course of human history have been situations where the "potentiality of random chaos" has unexpectedly emerged as the dominant potentiality of the moment.

This "joker's" emergence creates what is usually seen as no more than a small "glitch" in the Matrix of human historical events. It is rarely even noticed.

But, upon occasion, the disturbance created, begins to gain increasing amplitude. At that point, the after effects of this "glitch" begin to self sustain and to magnify.

When this occurs, it invariably has come to pass that the flow of Human history has been hijacked and the course of history has been changed. It's just the nature of the game...

This is the reason we would all do well to expect the unexpected, and (of course) and to always remember that....History has proven more than once that, out there somewhere, there is always....a joker in the deck!

WILL THERE BE WAR WITH A RUSSIAN LED COALITION?

WILL THERE BE WAR WITH A RUSSIAN LED COALITION?
By: CliffMickelson
cmicke1065@aol.com
***
Greetings, (In a most Orthodox manner!)
Recently, a spate of reports have been circulated that openly suggest that Russia and/or a combination of Russian-led nations are considering the option of war with the United States.

I would check under the hood of the vehicle carrying that message before I bought it.

I find the possibility of "hot" war with Russia to be very remote, albeit in a different time and place, the Russian justification on the grounds of provocation have certainly been established over the last 15 years.

What I find more likely is the use of a stratagem every bit as effective, (In most cases) as is "hot war."

A concerted and well planned attack upon the dollar would serve notice upon Washington that the ancient polity of a balance of power is to be restored to the world. If there is any harmony of action by nations of the world to curb the hegemonism of Washington City, it will assume this shape.

War is, after all, but a child of Economics and does but sit at it's knee.

Further...

Only an attack upon Iran will suffice to justify the risk and to overcome the difficulty of creating such cooperation between the principle nations who can effect such an attack.

It became apparent some years ago with the Clinton adventure in Kosovo, that the engagement of the Slavic world on a playing field of rational and enlightened policies; policies built upon a view to the long run as the goal, was a possibility not listed on the game plan in Washington City.
I,(And frighteningly few others here in the United States) found myself very dismayed at what portents were to be read in the entrails of that administration's stunning squander of an emergent historic potentiality; the likes of which rarely present themselves in human history.

Now we begin to see the fruit of such a policy's profligate husbandry beginning to assume the deformed and thorny shape we will all shortly harvest.

In truth, it is a sad commentary to be forced to make; that myopia and rapaciousness, as once did Charybdis and Scylla, now wreck the blinded hopes of the world upon the rocks of false premise and devour the wealth of nations in an endless whirlpool of debt and bad faith.
But then, for a thousand year, such has been the short sighted policies of the Western world vis a vis their Orthodox brethren.

So I suppose we should expect nothing less of either Clinton or Bush, or for that matter, of either of the two women destined by design to be the next President.

They are all simply the cultural progeny of the Franks and the Venetians, voyaging ostensibly to Egypt, but lusting in fact, for the ruin of Constantinople.

In this way, does a man of God do the work of the infidel.

Greetings, My Fellow Orwellian Test Subjects!

Is it possible to see in the excerpt above, how those who establish the control of the semantic high ground are empowered to dictate the reality of perception.

What Sophist logic contained above is at hand that gives the lie to the premise seeking an illegitimate validation ...?

And... What are the internal contradictions of the paragraph excerpted above? Conclusions can be drawn from the very order of the words in this excerpt.

These are important conclusions, the likes of which are affecting you and I both at this very instant.

So.......What are those conclusions?

Let us examine the not so obvious forces at work here. Who will we see when we pull back the curtain that hides this particular wizard of Oz?

To gain perspective in doing this, we must first place the particular details of the struggle to determine the destiny of the two nations involved, (as revealed in the excerpt) off to the side. They are irrelevant. The faces will forever come and go. It is the game that will always remain the same.

Further.... It remains vitally important that everyone recognize the implications and effects of the powerful tools being employed in what is really a life and death "game."

It is also vital that the detection of the hallmarks that advertise the context and employment of such tools and techniques, become instantly discernible.

Knowing that those who use this tool, give to it a substance formed as would be the intent of a speeding arrow. It is a shaft deliberately aimed at the eye of the mind.... And, in addition, to know the importance of the detection of any such work as being a well crafted subversion; one who's essence is no less than a deadly missile launched from the bow of a competing power of a doctrine, philosophy and/or a belief system heresy.

For if by the very fact that there exists,at any given moment in time, an established state of being in the order of human affairs that we can adjudge as being "our current reality" then we do so by beholding its presence as a universal and agreed upon of contract of belief. We are therefore able to accept this contract as proof of the established existence of this construct and we thereby assigning it value as an established truth.

This construct is by it's nature the target of many arrows sent speeding forth from the bow if ill intent. To slay it's victim it must be formed of the corruption attendant to the fabricated perversion of it's antithesis.

Thus we may see that, there exists simultaneously beyond the mundane words printed upon a page of ink and paper is the pestilential lethality of a non physical and falsely planted conciet. An illusion. This phantom is the tool that enables the archer. It is then, a wraith most fatal to those who are cuckold into believing that it is in fact the substance formed of an arrow in flight.

It is into these unfortunate breasts that the missle will indeed, plunge.

We advantage ourselves in the metaphor of the arrow by giving ourselves a practical grasp of what is the difficult conception of a lethal metaphysical missile. It possesses no tangible form nor physical shape. This is remains true until it finds and strikes down those who have come to believe it exists. It is as but one among many similar instruments born out of the armory of another world.

These special darts are brought forth, nestled amongst kith and kin, in a crowded quiver possessed by the implacable and immortal prodigals of darkness and often vectored by friend and foe alike of any particular established or dominant order of human perceptions and/or socially agreed upon morality or truth.

Upon the battleground of ideas, we behold it as a peculiarly quilled shaft bearing a tell tale barb dipped in the metaphysical waters that flow out of falseness and Distortion. This is a malevolent and turgid stream that endlessly assaults the dikes that contain it. It follows a sullen course who's origin is found to lie beyond the mirage that shields the mountainous abyss of it's bitter and alkali source.

In this poisonous liquid we easily behold the medium so often assumed by the many incarnations of a Great Deceiver.

It is as one such alias; that which we call Deception, who is the author under whose aegis marches a formidable legion of often unknowing, insensible and controlled vectors. These are the first to be slain by the illusion of the arrow, becoming subsequently, the incubus for the tools most often used to further the overthrow of existing human perceptions of order and morality.

Any assassin of Truth readily accepts that the pen is mightier than the sword. Therefore, he will aim his arrow to achieve his intent by piercing heartstone and the foundations upon which his targets are predicated. This speeding illusionary feathered bolt of fabrication then, is the nature of the object which the archer launches at his quarry.

Soon to be formed from the field of the slain are those apologists who render service by claiming that the murder of Truth is not all all what it appears to be. They would have their congregation of listeners drink justification from the same waters from which they were poisened. The would hope to whet thirst among the gullible by claiming that their master's fatal undertakings are nothing more than proof of the end-logic of what is essentially an amoral creation.

It is argued further that as such, this is an exclusionary environment; that it is not subject to the artificial jurisdiction of human morality or judgment, and so, being inherently neither good nor bad, but, superior to both, Therefore is stands to reason that not only established moral precepts, but all things includingDarkness and light, Good and evil, are ones that simply "exists" in and of their own right in a timeless universality. They are simply self-evident manifestations of the process's by which the human perception of right or wrong are extracted as derivatives. They are then further reduced by rending them in the ash and lye of subjectivity. This then places all things mortal within their proper role of manufactured dependencies who's powers are the result of a universal mandate and as a result are always substantially sequential and subservient as are any effects to a cause.

In this disingenious way they seek to justify function as a form and by-product of the necessary groundwork required of all communal human equations and social contracts.

Further, it is therefore maintained that it be logically proper that human morality be cast in a role as a subset of power. It's interpretation is defined, (conveniently) as existing in a state that is subjective to perceptions of reality and that perception is, after all, ultimately to be determined in the end by the success or failure of the flight of their master's arrow.

This argument is self serving, if not hypnotic. For the very essence required in any manufacture and/or produce of the Metaphysical, remains eternally the spawn of that domain. It's genesis lies forever outside of the frontiers that sharply limit the boundaries of and the worldly power of the human mind to define the form and nature of it's own physical existence and environment.

The Metaphysical remains always, the inscrutable domain from which are drawn the intangible waters that nurture the human experience. They flow downstream to us through time and space, flooding into the human construct, giving life and sustenance to those who inhabit it's further reaches.

In this way does the intangible become transformed as life and death tangibles. This process alone is the human enabler. It is a unique transubstantiation by which the medium of the chalice wherein the water is held, becomes the miracle of the wine.

Within this mystery of transformation is found the enigma that defines the riddle of the human experience.

It remains to be affirmed that the worldly embodiments of the power of the human mind over in's own reality is the exclusive and special dominion possessed by the spirit of man.

Hence we understand the otherworldly nature of the soul.

Man's single most distinguishing achievement raising him above the clay is constantly exhibited in the aforementioned transubstantiation of the metaphysics of the "Idea" into the functional tangibility of physical form and substance.

And...

The energy given out from the mating of two unlikely worlds in the crucible of human constructs is a life giving sustenance coveted by one of those world's less physical embodiments. It is also a part and demonstration of an energy most greatly feared by the same. Therefore, the world of Man is to be gingerly farmed in a controlled environment of darkness by forms that fear the light.

Thus, Earth is the farm who's bounty is the harvest of souls. The essence of the spirit is the target and the goal of the husbandry of darkness and deception. The aim is the control of the creative spiritual electrolysis by which the elements from another world are combined with those of this. Here, the synthesis of the metaphysical power of the light is joined together in the fires of the physical and forged into unity within the soul of Man. Knowing it's peril, Evil seeks to sustain itself upon this nutrient by a cautious agenda of control and manipulation. It too, will score it's overtures in the Metaphysical to be orchestrated and performed in this.

These are technique not unlike that of the deliberate farmer. His crop is the negative energies of grief, pain, hate and fear. This is the harvest that he will sustain himself upon. It stands to reason therefore that for this dark farmer, in order to survive, he must insure that his crop will never realize the value of their own produce or the nature and power of light that it alone is gifted to produce.

The slave must never know that he is many and that his masters are few, or that it is he himself who forges the chains used to bind him in darkness.

So it is that truth is corrupted by falsity, and the parasite of darkness shields itself from exposure to the fatal remedy of light. In the battle for the minds of men lies the eternal struggle to control all earthly creation resulting out of the meld and divinity of a formlessness of another world, with the substance of the physical plane and the form comprising the momentary order of the human world.

As a leech seeks the lifeblood, so too, the diversion, control and consumption of this defining human product is the sole object coveted by the assassins of the spirit who awaits in the shadow.

But all is not lost. For the archer's dark aim to succeed, he must labor under the limit of peculiar requirements.He is aware that to slay Achilles, he too, must dip his arrow in the waters of the River Styx. This is because all that lies within the constraints of the physical order of the human world, actually exists as a "effect." It is brought forth out of a cause, as is an end forged from out of a means.

This "effect" is in fact, a well crafted illusion. It suffers to endure this reality as would a mortal child conceived of the intercourse between the gods and man.

All that which humanity creates is originally of material derived out of the light. As a result, as would a bastard child of kings, Man, through the affirmation of spirit, has claim to the succor of blood and the patrimony of divinity. In this we begin to see the first truth that we must know to stand in the light ... that the Godhead is indeed the source of all things. Good is the first born of twins, born into this world out of the same womb as evil.

It is Man's legitimate claim to a royal kinship, not to mention the potential terror of the discovery and subsequent invocation of his origin out of the Godhead by humanity in general, that forces deferment by evil to the metaphysical requirements of any illusion it may propose to bring forth.

Evil may only subvert good on a chess board of equal opportunity under divine law. These are rules where filial obligations are required by the king to be acknowledged by the royal pieces but are only demanded of the pawns should they prove themselves worthy of reaching the King's row.

It is in this rarefied universal game, played out on the chess board of imperceptibility of form, that the war for the control of human destiny and ultimately the soul, is most fiercely waged.

And so...To destroy the corporal child conceived of an ethereal form, (to which he is kin) darkness is obliged to shape his arrow out of the unity of a common matter hewn from the opaque and inscrutable province of the gods.

In this way, the archer's metaphysical bow speeds it's arrow of non existent illusion formed out of a common clay of origin.

As it is with the product of the light, the intangible formlessness of darkness is compelled to seek to be enabled through the union of it's shapeless essence with the tangible form created by human belief. Only in this way may it slay the moral substance of the targeted human reality and succeed in the hijack of the soul.

It is the corruption and theft of the divinity of Man that is the object of the game. Only by devouring that nectar which is made possible by the Godhead and brought into this world by the imprisoned soul from within the containment of it's mortal vessel of transient flesh and blood, can all that owes fealty to darkness continue to sustain itself.
This is the reason evil eternally seeks dominion and diversion of that corporal creation that houses the soul of man.

And...

Herein lies the reason and the importance of the struggle for the ultimate control of any and all intangible fabrications of the mind. It bears an importance revealed by the vitrol of the attacks upon it by those already lost to darkness, as being illusions of an illusionary war over a non-existant conception. But, in fact, the struggle is anything but imaginary. It is an apocalyptic combat to control and determine the perceptions and therefore the port of destination of any and all human vessels sailing on the riverine waterways of their mortal world. The success or failure of the struggle between two princes determines who will harvest the passengers on board ship, and the treasure they produce. This is the prize of one world that is sought to be gained by the next.

Within the inconceivability of that world, a sphere spinning itself out beyond the measured toll of time are found the infinity fields of Elysium, a place where now the Titans clash.

Yet the din of battle is often only dimly sensed for it lies far beyond the pale reach of Man's five feeble, earthbound senses. It is in this distant dreamless place that all that was, all that is, and all that will be, shall someday once again, come to pass.

As the inexorable and vibrant national momentum of Quebec moves it's native French speaking peoples towards a destiny that was interupted 246 years ago on the Plains of Abraham, the question is often asked:

"What is to become of the rest of Canada"?

The answer may lie in examining the nature of what passes today as the self image and national identity of those north of the 49th parallel who are not native French speakers.

And....

It may well prove decisive that English Canadians have always been provided with a curious tendency to process their national identity as a product of endless low level reactions to their southern cousins.

The roots of this (modern day) artificial and negative state of being go back,(In part) to the loyalist attitude of the Tories who relocated to Canada following the events of 1776 in the 13 other English colonies.

This originally valid political and economic attitude of a displaced social strata was co-opted long ago by the ruling class in Ontario, for use as the politics of fear in order to forge a tool of internal imperialism. That legacy began in earnest in 1867.

This tool of "fear" was then poorly, and somewhat later, welded onto a high sounding moral premise known as the "Quebec" Option/connection.

This awkward construction was in truth, simply the means used by the capitalist class based in York (Toronto) to gain an end. This end served not only the self interest of the Ontario ruling class, but was additionally what was desired by their masters in London. That "end" was the monopoly exercise of a colonialist home grown economic protectionism and monopoly via the aegis of the traditional moneyed powers controlling Ontario.

This class was Canada's first true group of NWO internationalists. They viewed the rest of the country, (especially the West) not as a potentially great and viable nation, but as simply their own private golden goose. This class had, (and still has) no loyalty to Canada, but they cynically use the concept as brainwash, to further their agenda.

This is the group who as always served at the behest of the capitalist in London. As such, they had one all consuming fear, and that was the nightmare of being overwhelmed by the far greater and more powerful moneyed class of Wall Street, who if not kept cleverly and discreetly at bay, would possibly deprive them of the golden geese that comprised their kingdom.

But all good things must end eventually. The predestined failure of the Quebec option to define a successful identity for English speaking Canadians was, (On the surface) the failure of a magnificent concept. In truth, it was a magnificent concept that cloaked the reality of much less magnificent motives.

It was, by it's very nature, doomed to fail. It was never a sincere national desire on the part of either the French or the English. It was instead an artificial construct designed to rationalize and institutionalize the traditional cultural, political and economic imperialism emanating from the back rooms of power in Ontario.

The reason that this experiment has already failed in all but name, are legion. A few of the reasons are even traceable right back to John MacDonald. I won't go into them at this point.

It generally fails to occur to Provincial citizens west of the Red River that the historic axis of Ontario/Quebec has been the nexus long used by the Ontario establishment to dominate, colonize, and economically reduce to feudal possessions, the culture, resources and people of the Provinces of the West.

This internal imperialism has been enabled by the clever and never ending magnification manipulation of a constant environment of low key fear. This environment is conveniently predicated on the artificial sustaining of two centuries of traditional Tory hostility to the United States.

Since Confederation, the old guard Ontario establishment has skillfully used this tool to great effect. For one hundred years they held the West in what can only be described as feudal bondage. Nonetheless, beginning with the discovery of how to viably refine the Athabasca tar sands and continuing on in a host of other ways, the West has been enabled to assert itself.

In doing so, it has slowly dawned on nervous Westerners that they do not need Ontario. However, they still have yet to realize that Ontario does need THEM!

And....that Ontario has always used Quebec as a foil, vis a vis the United States, to maintain its hold over the rest of the country.

Now the ropes on the grappling hooks that Establishment Ontario has used to impose it's will upon the people of Quebec have begun to fray. When they finally sever, Ontario will have a big problem out West.

We shall see what becomes of Canada. The problem may really be no problem at all. For two hundred and fifty years, the lines of political, economic and cultural reality have run north and south. Not east and west.

In the end, that reality has always proven to be the historic determinant in human affairs that matters the most.

DIARY OF A PRISONER...TRAVELS UPON THE WATERS OF TIME

2005-03-19T16:11:00.000-08:00

Greetings, Footsore and Cranky Travelers!

AKA

(If Today is Tuesday, This Must Be Rome!)

******

_____

There exists within the human invention of time, a great expanse of river. The headwaters of this stream are born in the high and distant reaches of this invention's formless conceit of measurement.

These waters, issuing forth, are the murky waters that form the sum and substance of all human history.

It is a treacherous and uncertain stream. It carries upon it's stormy back, the sails of an ever evolving shape and shift of illusion, a phantom ship, the product of human necessity seeking the perception of refuge in a frail and battered craft.

Here, on a precarious and tempest tossed deck, dwell the current ship's roster of passengers. Resigned to the fulfillment of the inevitable inheritance that was the legacy of their fathers, they are travelers and pilgrims, one and all.

And....

As must all those indentured, whose chains of heritage shackle them to the bondage of 3d mortality, they stoically endure their ancient sentence of endless transportation into a new and unknown world.

We are these voyagers. Our world is this craft and it is to this tiny deck that we afix ourselves in a community against the unknown insecurity of unfathomable waters all around.

Yet, from without the self imposed limits we inflict upon ourselves, we remain frighteningly able to perceive in our acknowledgment of this mighty stream, the singular form of reference from which we may quench the innate human thirst to define ourselves and all that exists around us.

And so, drinking deeply, we draw forth and merge in its universal sustenance.

Thus, since time immemorial, this has been the elixir that flows both within us and "without" us. It's essence, once and forever, is the eternal lifeblood that hallmark's individual, as well as communal, human identity.

To draw from this river of curious liquid is to imagine that we become enabled and empowered. And indeed, in this continuum, we do. For though we fear our creation, it is fated to be our springboard to freedom.

In it's potions we come to know the "value" of knowing, and through it, we chart the successful negotiation of past pools and rapids where once sailed those who's bequeathment is the testament of their posterity here in our present.

The path of our future, to where the waters that carry us someday will meet the sea, can only be known with certainty as being within the dominion of future generations.

We are presently blinded at the point where our chart reaches the edge of our known world. What lies beyond remains forever inscrutable. Only a distant rumble may now and then signal the ominous rage of a torrent whose fury is occasioned by what cataracts lie ahead.

As a result, those wishing to divine the emergence of the potentiality of events that may determine the time traveler's future, are reduced to pay homage to the labor of tortured waters, and to solace themselves with the insecure wage paid so poorly by conjecture.

Nonetheless, by understanding the nature of the medium others have already sailed over, and by knowing how it's flow has led us to where it is that we currently find ourselves, a certain confidence can be gained. This understanding is a gift and not a right, yet it is one that enables us to reasonably sound the opaque potentiality of waters we have yet to reach.

The fate of those in the past who have been stricken from the vessel's roster and who's worlds have perished with them, serve as stark notice that sailing upon waters plumbed in the present as "mark Twain" is no guarantee of the potentiality of the sudden and unforeseen wrench and tear that signals the emergence, from out of blackest of depths, of a future "tom sawyer."

In both the physical and metaphysical world, these occurrences are often difficult to anticipate. They are usually best seen from the vantage point of hindsight. They are denizens of the realm of lurking and submerged potentialities; events who's physical emergence are but a worldly embodiment of the ethereal forms assumed by the metaphysical torpedoes of seemingly random chance.

They exist in perception of caprice, and, (in our particular 3d continuum) as a function of numbers so vast as to reduce to a complete impotence the power of humanity over the calculation of it's own destiny,

These forces have usually already surfaced to wreak the changes that will eventually be wrought on subsequent human history before being noticed.

This is often accomplished via the aegis of events of insignificant inexactitude, inflicted at moments that warrant little or no attention.

In this way is divine notice served upon mortal hubris. Eternal 3d limits are placed, as well, upon overweening arrogance rooted in the belief of our unlimited ability to manipulate our environment and exercise ultimate control over our own destiny as a people, a nation, or a species.

We are then sent, scrambling pell mell, back to the beginning of the text book, to begin working all over again, upon an equation who's already established subtotals no longer add up.

In other cases, history is changed by events who's genesis has sprung forth from the forehead of the unanticipated numbers that chaos is predicated upon.

They then simply grow ever greater as a dynamic, to eventually become a self evident determinant to all future generations.

Thus is the pride of man brought low from the unexpected or unrecognized occurrence of random potentialities. As with the best laid plans of mice and men, so it is that these "events" are the true determinants that drive the flow of history and thereby, so often dictate the future form and disposition of the waters our ship will someday sail upon.
